very opinionated here too. our EOCs in texas are called TAKS, and on the English, in the essay, i either got a 4 (the best score) or pissed them the **** off.
A pretty big gamble on my part. Considering you have to pass it to graduate, and the essay is a huge part, and its impossible to pass if you get a zero.
The thesis was "describe a time when you felt free" and i basically went into full on rant mode, and said i used to feel free when i was young and stupid, but i made it sound much more intelligent
