Ugly red C
Big messy tears rolled down my face as I cried. My father asked why I was upset. I handed him the paper I wrote for my Freshman Composition class at the local community college. A big, fat, ugly, red C glared at me from the top of the paper I was holding. "I don't understand. What did I do wrong?"
