When to Cite information ? ( I gotchu)

        Plagiarism occurs when outside information that is used in an essay is not cited correctly or cited at all. Once a source is found and incorporated, the source needs to be cited. Always properly cite an author's original idea, regardless of whether you have directly quoted or paraphrased it.  Your source citation of a book, website, article, or dictionary shows that an expert backs up your statement and tells the reader how to find the facts. All In all siting your information is an away step and very much necessary to avoid any major errors of plagiarism that will result in an F and further action.

A Best-Friend to Me

                Best Friend I love you. You make me smile when times are hard. You push me to be the best version of me. You make me whole and without you this world would be way harder to manage. You are my personal safe, where I keep all my secrets dreams and desires. For when I forget these things you will be my medicine that will help me to remember. I never saw you coming my way but boy am I glad you came. you are proof that I made a difference to someone. You are one more reason for me to live. You are the slow breaths I take to stay sane. You are my light in dark places. My shoulder to cry on when my mom’s isn't available. Best Friend you are the light house to my ocean, the strings to my shoes and the gel to my edges. You are my inner thoughts and you know the vibes. Best friend you know me because in another world, you are me and I am you.

Many people who push to achieve an education but also have day-to-day life problems struggle. Colleges often try to be more flexible for their students and also teachers so that everyone can prosper. Most students have a job and also have to balance school and work life. This often causes stress and once we are stressed all hell breaks loose. Your hair isn’t done, you look like a bum you got 6 assignments due tomorrow and you got to work til’ 12 pm tonight. That is what you call quitting time.

MLA Citation

       I always happen to format my paper all the way wrong and I don’t know how. I always read the instructions given by my teacher and all the necessities but some thing seems to always go wrong . It isn’t hard to understand they are pretty easy instructions to follow, but my problem is the comprehension part. I turned my paper in around five-ish and I come to class only to find out I formatted my paper incorrectly. It’s in a some kind of MLA Format, just not the right one. In text citations and the works cited is also easy to follow just because Mr. B has so so so so so so so many documents on citations. Easy access, yessir.
