What makes the first paper "A" worthy?

To be a successful paper and short story it will need to be about an important educational experience we have had in our lives. From there it is important that we express how and what got us to what we have learned.  For it to be a good story we will need to find a way to relate to a majority of people to be able to take in their attention and keep them reading, to make that possible we will need to make sure it is interesting and easy for the average reader. We need to add facts about our lives but not get extremely personal. The paper needs to be 1200-1500 words, and to make sure it is in a proper MLS style. It has been awhile since I have written anything and I hope that I can share a story from my informal educational life that will be interesting and factual from my personal experience. To me it seems like a lot of us are still a little unclear of what our topic will even be yet. I know I keep constantly been battling myself between a couple topics. We will get there (or will have to soon!).
