My reflection

Where do I begin, I guess I can say English has never been my subject. I mean English is my first language you would expect me to love it right, well your wrong. I always struggled with writing and poems forget it I was horrible. My professor were never really helpful, which made me hate the topic even more. English requires a lot of focus, and reading two things that are very hard for me. When I got into college I knew English was one of those mandatory classes and you could imagine how thrilled I was about that. I knew to graduate I had to take the class, and guess what pass as well. So let me get this straight I have to take my worst subject and you want be to get a C or better to pass, or no what did I get into.

So my first semester I had to take English 101, and I was mad and scared. All my friends told me about all the readings and papers I would have to write and I knew It was going to be a long semester. Luckily enough I had a great professor who was so engaging and funny that I made the class a lot more enjoyable. I started to see I did have potential as a writer, I just had to practice. Later into the class I was realizing my vocabulary was growing and I was becoming a strong writer. My professor always gave me positive critics and that made all the difference. The class was defiantly challenging but surprisingly I came out of the class with a B+ can you believe it, I know I couldn't either. After that class I was ready for a break, so that's what I did. I took a semester off and did a internship with Disney, my favorite place in the whole world. I forgot about school and stress and just enjoyed my experience. I knew it could not last forever and I would have to return back to school.

This January I enrolled back into school and I Knew after English 101 came English 102. So I just picked a random English 102 class and hoped for the best. I am happy I got lucky. Professor Candia was a amazing professor who opened my eyes to literature and writings in ways I didn't even think. She made reading and interrupting poems easy, understandable and believe it or not fun. Our daily blog post made me a better writer and allowed me to explore my writing more. I am not going to say I loved writing the essays but I do appreciate them because I have grown so much as a writing. This blog took up a lot of time and gave me headaches but I can honestly say I enjoyed writing it and speaking about my experiences and learning more about American literature.

I will always appreciate both my professors because they helped be become the writer I am today. If you are like me give English a try its not all that believe me I would not lie to you.
