My Writing Class

Reading and writing started off as my language arts class in elementary and middle school. It was my absolute least favorite subject of the day. The hour long class was spent learning mostly about grammar and spelling. To this day, spelling and grammar are my weaknesses. I did not find learning about the proper way to write interesting.
