So I spent a few hours reserching Doling Park in Springfield, MO because it's the place I chose to write about for my COMP 101 essay and I learned so much! I pulled up pictures and read everything I could find about it. I remember it as a semi run down park it seemed no one cared about, but in my research I discovered it used to be the IT place in Springfield, an ammusement park! From the pictures it was beautiful. It had a lake you could swim in, a roller skating rink, boat rentals, and even a roller coaster! I had no idea this place had such a historical significance to the town I grew up it! It's crazy to believe that all that time I spent there as a child I had no idea of it's history until recently. For that reason alone I am so glad my instructor assigned this assignment and that I chose this place of personal significance to me. This is where I got married and it is just astounding to learn that it was such a thriving place! Can you believe the admission price was only $.10! Just getting into Silver Dollar City is about $60 a person now! Wow I'm so glad I learned this!
Love the title...did you lost readers? :) I am thrilled that you learned something new that carried weight and meaning for you. One of the biggest challenges for many students is to take responsibility for their own educations and make every assignment count. Nice work. ~Ms. A.
