I used to teach freshman English at the University of Houston. If your first essay for me were of the quality of your post here, I'd advise you to drop my class and take it at Houston Community College, where standards are notoriouxly lax. With that substandard grammar and utter disregard for spelling, there's no way you'd pass a freshman English course.

HCC may even be too tough. The University of Pittsburgh is probably more appropriate.

Sadly, I've seen college students write like this.
