Writing sample paragraph:

She was born into a large family, the middle child amongst a sea of brothers and sisters. Her childhood was as normal as it could get, as normal as it would allow. Her father was strict and her mother did as best as she could to alleviate this with her own brand of caring. As she grew into her teens she noticed that people, men in particular, would vie for her attention, apparently she was someone worth paying attention to. Inside she knew that it wasn’t what would make her future -- that kind of life wasn’t for her. She focused on her studies with the usual trouble that young people get into peppering her youth, it was mostly to test how far her leash from her father would let her roam. She graduated from college and moved to the city, she was glad to have left the constricting rural life, but missed the stability that strict lifestyle provided in comparison to the chaos she found in the city. At least now, she was truly free to follow her dreams. But as we all know, life intervened on her plans as it is wont to do.
