    I'm 42 years old now, and for the life of me I can't recall when or how I ever written a paper. But, I find myself fighting for an opportunity to change my life by starting college on this Thursday. To help with the very expensive out of pocket cost, I have been asked to write an essay to be considered to receive a scholarship for my remaining tuition. I had no clue what I was going to do, or how to write an essay to achieve this goal until I stumbled across your highly effective "How To" video on essay writing. James I believe your my angel to an answered prayer, and from the bottom of my heart I wanna say "Thank You", for taking the time to share your knowledge on this subject, because it's given me the confidence I need to knock this ball out of the park with the most POWERFUL and HEARTFELT essay the world have ever read. Once I have been given confirmation of receiving my scholarship because I'm standing on God's promise that it's already DONE, I will send you a copy of my reward letter. I hope and pray that others will use your passion and willingness to share this gift to achieve greatness, just as I plan too.
    God Bless You James❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋

    James, I appreciate you so much! I am an English Major heading for graduate school who is homeschooling two children. I lost my voice (I was a broadcaster, and had to retrain) and after seven years of hoarse, painful communication, I may have a cure. Problem is... therapy requires that for three months, I must not speak! My children are learning ASL, and we can communicate, but obviously I cannot lecture. For us, your videos are a blessing. You keep it interesting, and you are teaching exactly as I would. Thanks for solving a very messy problem for me! Your dedication and passion for teaching is evident, and helps more than you know.

    I've got severe ADHD (self-diagnosed) and this man is saving my life. I am super satisfied with my introduction for a 2000 word essay and I have a feeling adding my anecdote will be moving for the reader which I hope haha highly suggest for all struggling to write an essay especially if required to write 2000 words or more.

    I'm not that good at writing and I've used this for every essay I've been writing in my college courses. It helps me feel safer when wrting and I appreciate this so much I plan on watching every single one of your videos because i want to improve and you really are such a help for me to learn sincc I have crazy bad ADHD. Your videos grab my attention just like a good thisis!
    I am practicing how to write essays for my GED exam and I've seen so many videos of how to start writing an essay but none of the tutorials can be compared to this one. It's the best and helped me immediately in less than an hour. Thank you so much! My only question is are there any more essay teaching videos with James? Hopefully there are .
    Probably the funniest teacher I've ever met! I kept my simle face on along the lecture. I think he is a very good teacher simply by triggering my interests on a subject used to be bored and a bit intimidating to me~ thanks for sharing your lecture, James!
    These videos really helped me out since covid started. When lockdown happened and online classes srarted I slowly felt I was forgetting how to write an essay because of the lack of physical classe. Online is fine and all but it dosen't feel the same as connecting with a professor when things click together. As an English major this simple video has helped me out alot in structuring parts of my essay. I feel more confident again, so thank you james
    I'm an english literature student and i have writing exam this sunday this video heped me so much thank you i appreciate your hart work wish me luck guys stay safe & stay healthy
    This class is amazing i was skipping this type of topics because i felt impossible to wirte a good essay, but now i feel more confident with me and the structure you show is really helpfully. Thank you for show us this kind of information.
    I recently went back to school after being out for over 15years. I struggle with writing essay
