I experienced failure, though most of high school with learning in certain classes like English, even though I would try my hardest I still would be in a low C range because I was not able to grasp the concept of the topic. I would turn in the assignments as best as possible, but it would not be enough to raise my grade over a C. I learned how to do certain things that made it possible to for me to get the assignments and understand the topics in another way. I knew it was harder for me to learn in general and working a little harder was a normal thing for me. Freshman year English I ended with a C, sophomore year was a low B, I had a lot of challenges that year with learning and the vocabulary was difficult for me to understand but I made it though. Junior year was the hardest for me because I was out in a class I was not ready for and it was extremely difficult for me to get the concept. …show more content…
My English and history class was extremely difficult, it was faster than I was used to and how the teacher explain things to the class did not make any sense to me. For most of the year I was borderline failing the class. I talked with my guidance counselor multiple times to try to figure out what I could by myself or with someone else to help me pass.

Personal Narrative: My Writing Process

Imagine writing a five page paper the night before it’s due. This describes my life throughout AP Senior English during high school. It would have been more beneficial if I would have received grades that were not satisfactory. That way, I would have learned my lesson and not waited until the last minute for every assignment.

Essay on Meta-Narrative

Dear Reader, For a lack of a better way to put this, first semester of freshman year in Jan Roser’s class has been a very enjoyable experience. Her style of dictation is so unique in so many ways that she always has the ability to keep the class’ attention and effectively get whatever message it is that she is trying to send across to us students. It seemed as though no matter what was on the agenda for the day she had a new way of teaching the material she had for that day. I feel as though…

Since air is essential to the livelihood of most life on Earth, it could be considered an “important reality.” In David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech, “This is Water” to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College, Wallace states that “the most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the ones that are the hardest…
