Anyone following this blog may have noticed that most of the posts use the generic 'we' as a way of including everyone with the disorder. However, I find that at times, like today, 'I' is the best choice.

I've purposely stayed away from statistics and facts, preferring to use my experience to help others. I ran across a paper I did for school (I went to college in 2010-2012 for psychology). Below are the comments from an expository essay I wrote in one of my first classes. The title was 'Managing Bipolar Disorder is a Lifelong Journey' . . .


This is an excellent essay. The thoroughness of research is very apparent with main points arranged in a logical progression. The information is very informative within the body that contains specific details and analysis of the main points. Your sentence and paragraph construction and transitions created a coherent flow through the paper. You have an easy to read writing style with an excellent vocabulary command and word choice. I would like your permission to use this essay as an example for future classes. I enjoyed reading your essay and working with you in class. Well done!

Made me smile. Then and now.
