Bad news for my future

So I was working on my SAT essay grader training today for Kaplan, and out of the 10 sample essays, I gave exactly 1 essay the same score as the professional graders. One. And that's because it was just horrible so you pretty much had to give it the lowest possible score.

Now recall that I am studying to be a high school ENGLISH teacher who will be grading lots and lots of ESSAYS. This is bad, this is very very bad.

New career goal: Busking in the London Underground with my trusty sidekick, Barnaby the Wonder Duck.

Aw, don't be discouraged. I'm sure part of learning to grade essays is experience, which you don't have yet, but will get. You'll get better I'm sure :-)
