I have a love/hate relationship with writing. It all started back in elementary school. Back in those times, english class just came natural to me. It was always the class that I got an A in. Even when I got into middle school, I always got an A in my English classes. When I entered the 8th grade however, English class began to get a little bit harder. The teachers that I had were trying to prepare us for the English classes in high school. As it got harder, I spent more and more time with the teachers to improve my writing while my peers just fell back and didn 't do as well in the class. When my writing started to improve, I started helping my peers with their writing and grammar skills. Doing that made me consider being an English teacher

I would love to sit and write about anything for hours on end. In high school, I was even paid for writing my own stories. Even One of my stories that I made online got almost 100,000 reads. I enjoyed that because I was writing about something that made sense to me and kept me intrigued. When I get assigned papers that have a boring topic or something that I’m just not interested in, I always end up saving for the last minute and receiving a poor grade on it. It’s not because I didn’t try, it’s just because I truly did not know what to say. I would just use a bunch of sources and basically reiterate what they said. If more English classes allowed us to write about whatever we want, it would really allow students to speak their feelings and improve their writing skills. I stopped writing solely because English classes made me not want to. If we were allowed to write about what we’re passionate about, I would always …show more content…
I have so many unanswered questions that I would love to research and write about. For example, Why do we teach students things that we know they will never need in the real world? Why don’t schools prepare students for the real world by having finance and home economics as a required class for every single student in America? We learn how to graph absolute value function before we get taught how to manage our bank accounts or take out a loan for college or even before we learn how to cook. How does any of that make sense? Also, another huge problem with the educational system in America is the fact that colleges and universities in America are becoming way too expensive. It should not cost this much to get an education. Becuase without college, you almost can not get a long lasting and fulfilling job in America. So my view is that college should be free. That way, every person should have the opportunity to do what they want in life rather than not being about to because of their financial status. With what’s been going on in the education world recently and with all of these questions that I continue to have, I have come to one conclusion. America needs to have an educational system
