Do you remember in elementary when we had to read every night for homework? The think with me growing up was that I could read the book but sometimes I couldn’t comprehend what the book was talking about. I had a hard time comprehending things I read through elementary and middle school. From me having to go through this it did become frustrating growing up.

She was a very nice lady who tried to help students like me who had trouble reading.

By this time I wasn’t reading as slow as I was in six and seventh grade. When I was put in this class, I had a teacher names Mrs. White.

Brown. I can say this teacher helped me out with my reading. She continued to work with me and other students.

We were still doing rotations and working together in groups. We picked out books that we were interested in reading in and would read them for a certain amount of time in class. When I took the FCAT this year I was confident and I believe in myself that I can do it. I still didn’t pass but I went up more points than I ever did in the past. I was proud of myself but still upset that I still could not pass the

    So now I regret not listening to my mother because once college starts I feel like I’m going to fail all my writing assignments. My mother would give me the lecture about college and work and I did not take it serious enough. In the end of my junior year I failed a couple of classes that had made me repeat the grade, however the high school that I was in does not have the NYS regents’ exams. This goes back to me being lazy on my writing, I failed 3 courses because I wanted to fall back on my work. I transferred high schools and started going to tutoring for my writing and vocabulary.…

    I stopped reading all together, maybe picking a book up about once to twice a year if I could find something interesting. I got awful grades in my Language arts classes, and did not even care. I even got to a point where I would be getting in trouble in class, because my eyes would be wandering around the room, trying to find something to occupy my mind. And that was just middle school. As I entered high school, some things may have changed, but my care for English, was still pretty low.…

    She made me think that in 8th grade I would be in a higher level of English; unfortunately, I was put another year of Eld. The worst part was that I did not learn anything in my 8th grade English class because it was homework from the literature books and I did not have to write any essays for that year.

    After a couple of weeks in Mrs. Fischer 's class it was evident to her that my knowledge of english and grammar was not as extensive as it should be. So she drew me aside one day after class asking that I stay behind so I could further improve my English skills, this was the start of a regular routine for me. I remember thinking, “This cold strict woman does actually care she just shows it in a different way.”. For me this would be my first substantial english teacher, rather than some religious zealot who had taught me a religious coated version of every subject in school. After several days of getting help with my english I realized that having to learn something that I no longer enjoyed had just became a part of my daily routine.…
