Vote of confidence

Today, I finished my position paper for my social studies class and read it to my mom to get her opinion on it. After I'm done reading it, she asks me if I copied it from somewhere because it sounded very professional and smart, and it didn't sound like me. FML

I've had a similar experience in highschool. It was a presentation that we had to partner up for, and I happened to partner with one of the smartest girls in class. Incidently, we both left it to the last minute (both of us to blame - we were both lazy) but then, the day before, I got an idea of what to do and wrote the whole thing. Afterwards, the teacher said, "That was one of the best and cleverest presentations I've come across in a long time." Everyone thought that my partner came up with it all and I did nothing. No one believed that it was my idea at all.

Yeah I really hate it when I get told my writing seems professional.

It could just be that she hasn't read your stuff in a long time. TBH, when my brother sent me his last essay to have me look it over, I was IMPRESSED. It was FAR better than anything I had read of his before. I figured my mom helped him, but she didn't, lol. It's a compliment that she almost didn't believe you'd written it!

Take it as a compliment and stop complaining about it!

So what's the problem? You don't sound like a nerd dingus, that's what she's sayin.

People really should know that others usually talk differently in everyday situations from when they write formal papers...

the teacher thought my friend did that an had her rewrite parts of it then took off 20% because of it. she wrote the whole thing herself.
