I honestly don't know any one who hasn't pounded out an assignment at the last second. It's a rite of passage in college if I'm not mistaken.
People are busy, stuff happens.
19-year-old Rachel Harriman went through a particularly emotional weekend before an assignment of hers was due and turning it in on time simply wasn't an option.
What did she do?
She hunkered down and wrote an email to her Prof. You have to see Rachel's honest email and the amazing reply she got from a clearly empathetic guy.
