Oops, I responded above before reading the entire thread.

I understand you are not an English major and I am far from a grammar police but you really need to understand that your glaring lack of basic spelling and grammar is probably playing a significant part in your lack of progress of your goals. This forum can be extremely critical of anyone who doesn't fit their ideal of perfectionism but in the end, it doesn't matter what THEY think. But, on the other hand, don't you think it's probable that your instructors are judging you the exact same way...and their opinion DOES matter. If you present yourself in writing as having a "lower" class of education, don't you think it's possible that your work will be scrutinized even closer...that they may look for the proof they assume they will find that you are not as capable as someone else. Sorry my friend, it's a very competitive world out there. Just trying to help you see how it may all tie together.

Just my $0.2 and something for you to think on. Peace!

I completely agree. If you do make it through school (and good luck!) you'll have a very difficult time finding a job if your cover letter is written in a similar manner. You don't have to use million dollar words and semicolons, but capitalizing words at the beginning of sentences and using proper punctuation shows not only a basic level of education, but respect for the reader. We have punctuation for a reason- it's difficult to read a paragraph without it!

Side note- Nascar nurse, I believe you mean $0.02 ;)

Awe come on...my great advice was worth 20 cents! LOL...just kidding. I did mean two cents.
