 Comments about the writing center:

“I love the writing center!  I started taking classes at Metro when I was a junior in high school and went to the writing center once or twice every week right up until I earned my Associate’s degree this summer.  The writing center helped me put all the pieces of the writing puzzle together.  From figuring out where to start to adding finishing touches, I am a much more confident writer because of the writing center.  From working in the writing center, I have learned that I am a good writer.  I have also learned that I have my own, unique voice and that I have a story to tell.”  ~ Clare
