I’m hoping someone can proof-read my essay. Thanks if you do. .-. Dr. Peck states “problems call forth our courage and wisdom.” Our pain gets in the way of solving our problems. Dr. Peck is speaking the truth without a doubt. We stall and and hope our problems will go away. Suppose I need to finish my math homework. I don't understand it, so instead I act as if it’s non-existent. Dr. Peck also states “...attempt to avoid problems.” (Idk if thats who you do part of a quote like your starting it from a different point than the beginning) Instead we must solve them and meet them head on.
Personally I feel, this work is not to avoid our problems but meet. Them head on with determination and courage. Many people should read this book because it helps with procrastinating.
After we discover and transcend that life is difficult, we can break free of our old habits. Our old habits wear us down like plaque on our teeth.
The work of this excerpt was indeed, factual. It provided me with a toothbrush to brush the plaque off my teeth. A key to life was handed to me. The data facts and statistics add up fluently so that we can see it in plain sight. SOMEONE PLZ HLP WITH A DANG OUTRO THINGY, IDK WHAT TO PUT ;-;. Thank you if you got this far!

These are just some simple adjustments I would do. Anything I add or want to say will be in bold or italics, tell me if I get some of them wrong.

I really really really hope this helps :

Explanation:

Dr. Peck states “problems call forth our courage and wisdom.” Our pain gets in the way of solving our problems. Dr. Peck is speaking the truth, without a doubt. We stall and and hope our problems will go away. Suppose I need to finish my math homework. I don't understand it, so instead I act as if it’s non-existent. Dr. Peck also states “...attempt to avoid problems.” (btw, that is how you quote part of a sentence, you did it right) Instead we must solve them and meet them head on.

Personally, I feel this work is not to avoid our problems, but to meet them head on with determination and courage. Many people should read this book because it helps with procrastinating.

After we discover and transcend that life is difficult, we can break free of our old habits. Our old habits wear us down like plaque on our teeth.

The work of this excerpt was, indeed, factual. It provided me with a toothbrush to brush the plaque off my teeth. A key to life was handed to me. The data facts and statistics add up fluently so that we can see it in plain sight. (try to sum it up without using too many fillers, like the "key to life was handed to me". It makes you seem like you're stalling.)

the following key ideas correctly express the key sentence.

restate key idea: most people can learn to swim in ten short lessons.

restate key idea: the majority of water-accident victims require mouth-to-mouth breathing.

restate key idea: an empty, tightly closed gallon jug will support a tired swimmer.  

restate key idea: first aid is to prevent accidents as well as assist in rescue.

explanation: the key idea needs to have the same topic as the key sentence (drowning and safety).
