The College Composition Experience

College composition is similar to many areas of life. One must learn from their mistakes and conversely take the appropriate action for future correction. The variables are differing, thus one must make a concerted effort to understand and become acquainted with the subject matter. "The poorest experience is rich enough for all the purposes of expressing thought." Emerson is saying that even a bad experience is an experience, and remarkable.
