As a teenager I imagined that reading and writing fell into place without any issues for a few individuals, I did not believe I could actually learn how to read and write good. Pretty much as a few students would be okay in math and terrible in english or great in a few subjects and awful in a few. I had this believe that English classes was not where I belonged. On account of the gradings framework in Africa you could come up short a subject and still get elevated to the following class cause the evaluations are computed as the average score of all subject. In english classes I stayed at the back and hoped the teacher never notices me, I avoided reading passage, it was worst to the point that I kept away from literature classes where we were all appointed diverse characters from a book to read. I simply despised reading with energy and composing was excessively upsetting, making it impossible to try and consider. My english instructor knew about how well I did in other subject and she couldn 't exactly make sense of why I did as such awful in english.

I am a student ready to gain the knowledge and become better in all subject areas, even in those where I am not so enthusiastic about the material.

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…

    When I was young I was never the best at reading even though my parents owned many books and magazines that they read on a daily basis. My mother enjoyed reading her gossip magazines that she would receive in the mail once a month and my father had a whole bookshelf full of history books. My parents would always encourage me to read the books I would check out at the school library to improve my reading and writing but that advice usually went in through one ear and out the other. The only books I would really attempt to read had to be humorous or horrifying, my favorites were the Goosebumps collection. I loved reading these books alone in my room where I couldn’t be sidetracked by all the commotion that went on in my house.…

    That’s the reason why I started focusing on my writing ability. I brought some strength to the class English 101A, but I also had to work on my weaknesses throughout the semester. First of all, English is not my first language. When I came into the United States, I was supposed to start at the 9th grade, but the system placed me in the 8th grade because I didn’t know how to write, speak, or read in English so I had to go through the process of learning in English.…

    My First English Teacher Language learning is always strongly influenced by the teachers, because learners tend to imitate how our teachers perform and act when we are unfamiliar to something. At the time we were learning our mother language, teachers are our parents because they are the ones that we meet and communicate frequently when we were young. However, when we are engaging in learning another language, like while I was learning English, the first teachers could highly enlighten their desires and abilities of learning a language hence they could master the language. Thankfully I met a good English teacher, Ms. Tang, when I started learning English in the middle school: she was so strict because she usually assigned more homework than other teachers, but her harsh requirement had entrusted me many good habits, including self-discipline and diligence, which benefited my English learning process for a very long time. The first time I met Ms. Tang was the first English class at the very beginning of my middle school career.…
