The first rough draft

I have really learned some new information on my subject of lupus that I am writing for my final paper at Kaplan.  I really do like this english comp class that I am taking, but Im not the best writer so, Im hoping I do ok with this.  I guess I am one of those individuals that knows what they want to say and it sounds great in my head, but when it has to be written down on paper, I just can't seem to get it right.  It took me about two weeks just to come up with my thesis, lol.  My best friend that I have had for over 20 years found out that she has lupus and this is why  I choose to write about this subject.  I wanted to find out alot about it.  I was just in her wedding two weeks ago, she made such a beautiful  bride.  It is somewhat amazing to me that so many americans are diagnosed with this disease when it is actually a condition people rarely talk about.  Well, wish me luck with my paper.
