She only reads when she has to and that is rarely because in high school she barely read books that was needed to be read.

Most of the time she does not know what the words mean but she just continues to read until she knows what’s going on in the reading. Writing is not hard but she feels like it is. She does not see her mistakes that often until someone else points it out. She sometimes gets off topic but sometimes struggles in trying to put her ideas on paper because either the topic doesn’t relate to her or she just doesn’t know how to start it off. In her years in high school, she did nothing but what was needed to be done and that’s it, she never put in extra work because she was was fine with where she was at.
