The biggest obstacle I have encountered in my ability to read and write is to do it confidently. I noticed the difference when I would read alone to myself, then when I would have read in classes. It was frustrating because I knew I could read fluently. It would take me double the time to read than if I was reading alone. When it came to essays, journals, even warm ups I would be the last in the class to finish even when I thought I was moving at a good pace or even faster than everyone else. Back in my 10th grade year I had Ms.Boss for Honors English II, and we had a book for every month that year. We were reading the Novel “Lord of the Flies” and she would assign everyone a chapter to read for class and homework and to write a long summary …show more content…

There have been plenty of moments in my life where I felt embarrassed, ashamed, and just straight up nervous because of my inabilities. I always cared about my grades and I always wanted the best grade possible, as that was always my goal. When my English grade started to fail, my basketball coach told me "the only way to continue getting a good grade in her class or any other English class in the future was to improve your reading and writing skills”. He made me go to the school's website to find out what programs they had to help me get better in my reading and writing. First thing to come up on the school home page was a link saying “RHS learning workshop”. I clicked on the link to get more info about it; it said that anyone that comes will receive one on one help from a national honors society member in any subject. The sessions were Monday, Wednesday, friday for Two hours right after school in the library. Sounded pretty straightforward and simple to …show more content…

I showed up in the library right after school, and did the same assignment just with a different chapter. I was thinking “how can writing all these sentences to help me write a short summary”. I Felt that at one point that this was pointless and I’m wasting a lot of time being here. I came to the realization that the quicker I get this done, the quicker I get to leave and all at the same time I had to tell myself I’m here to better myself. The last day he told me “out of all the sentences you wrote, choose all the ones that are key points and put them together like puzzle pieces so they make sense together and summarizes your

    English is a hard language to learn, for there are numerous elements of effective usage and writing. Many people, including me, struggle in writing because of a lack of knowledge. Since middle school, English was not a strong suit of mine. I struggled with the simplest of tasks often taking a considerably longer time to complete a task than the other students. Unmotivated teachers and a lack of interest resulted in remedial writing skills. To put it simply, I had little confidence in my writing and I dreaded taking the class because of the writing involved. In spite of my fears, I took the course and I was able to perfect and challenge my mediocre writing skills.

    As mentioned countless times above, during my time in this class, I would love to obtain the writing skill of writing papers that are more condensed and attentive to the matter I am addressing at that point in time. Professionals and even non-professionals will not want to waste their time reading something that could have been addressed in a fewer sentences and words. If I want to stand out in a crowd of equally educated occupational therapists, I need to make sure my writing is formatted and addressed in a professional manner. As a result, I am looking forward to learning how to make myself look as professional as I can in writing. Nevertheless, with learning to write proper papers and documents comes the challenge of making sure enough time is included within my study of this particular course.

    Lamb School, my godmother would make me read a different book around my level or one level higher each day every day. For each day, my godmother would ask 5 questions or more based on what I have read and if I got it wrong I would have to reread it again and again until I got all the questions right. This did not help me so much since I was already struggling with my reading in school. This was forced upon me because if I don’t answer the questions correctly I would have to eat dinner just a little bit later than usual. Doing this did not make me a fan of becoming an avid reader.

    When I was 11 years old, I wrote and published a book. While not exactly a book of any real merit, it is a book nonetheless. Of course, my work did not appear on bookstore shelves, major or otherwise, was never present at book clubs, critiqued, or discussed in any way. It is, however, an ever present reminder of an accomplishment that, since its “publication” in 2006, has a place of honor on my bookshelf. Although I must mention that the book was originally a class project and, as such, there are no other copies except the one I own.
