Paragraph #1
It came back to me like a dream. It was like the time I won the football game and I was a
hero for at least a week. Fragment and there is no such word as "specially" Specially
with the girls, you know. There is no such word as anyways - the correct term is
Anyway and there should be a comma after it.Anyways I couldn't believe it was true.
mean how could I win a car just by buying a raffle ticket, missing a question mark here
and the next phrase is a fragment. But it happened. I was a new owner of a new Toyota
Tacoma. It was great like the football game.

Paragraph#2
I want to major in Criminal Justice. I want to be a border patrol. I have two kids that are
my world. One is 5 and the other is 7 and they stay with my Mom while I go to school.
I'm also not sure if I want to major in History because I like studying about other
cultures. This is my first semester in college after 5 years of no school. I'm nervous, but
also excited.
Paragraph #3
My best subject in school was science. I really loved it. I kinda want to study that in
college so I can work with science things. I think I can be interested in this.
Paragraph #4
She knew she shoulda taken the bus but she didn't. She ended up walking almost like 5
miles and I was like no way was I gonna do that I mean why not just take the bus? But
like I said before at the beginning she was too proud to take the bus so she suffered. But
in the end I think she learned.
Paragraph #5
He started lifting weights to get stronger and look more buff. Somehow it wasn't enough
so he started taking steroids and he got mean. I mean, he looked good, but he could get
mad right away and then it was like nothing. Doctors say they aren't good for you.
Sometimes you get in trouble, too. Although some coaches give them to you. They all
take them.
