Why I M Relevant To Read

When I think of reading, even academically I get excited. An article, a chapter of a textbook, or, even a story I am always excited to read. I think because whatever it is, it is new to me and I'm going to be reading it for the first time and I can think of how is this relating to something else that we are learning or how x connects to y, and why do they connect or are they really separated etc. I believe this is called metacognition. However, even though I am always excited to read, I can't seem to do it as often as I like though sometimes it just seems impossible to do honestly. I always make sure I get my academic reading done as quickly as possible because I do not want to end up behind or procrastinating (too much) also, it sometimes

I always manage to do decent work (trying to implement the writing process more now!) but, I know I have potential to do better and I want my writing to flourish and become something great. With that, I do get frustrated and anxious with the thought of writing. I want it to be perfect and hit all the points needed for the assignment and try to grow with it as well. With those two combinations, English, in general, can be a stressful subject for me. I know I should probably learn some stress management and get help for my writing (like at the LRC). In high school English, I was taught to focus more on quantity rather than quality which I think shaped my idea of English but I know I can unlearn that and relearn to love it. I would try to write as much as I can, have my papers length on the maximum pages/words required, drag out my writing in a sense at least I feel like that was what was happening because from what my English teachers would say that is what they wanted. Which now, in my opinion, is one of my biggest downfalls in writing, I want to (with the help of this class hopefully) be able to get my point across clearly but without feeling like I am rambling or that there are just splashes of words in my writing making it seem to go around in circles because I am not finishing my thoughts strong
