Hello! I'm Nikki Higginbotham. I am a sophomore at The University of Northern Colorado studying to be an elementary teacher with an emphasis in English. I really enjoy writing on my own time and about my own topic. I find it most useful to start my assignments with a free write to gather my ideas. I do not like writing research papers, mostly because I don't manage my time well and I find myself in way over my head the night before it is due. I have found it easier to write my paper and then come back and write/arrange my introduction and thesis. I tend to rush my conclusion because I just want to get my paper done!
