analytical essay assignment that was meant to be completed within a week. According to my professor’s syllabus, the assignment was predictable. I knew one day this essay would be a challenge for me to face with. I despised reading poems throughout my high school years. Yet, was it a possibility for me to actually adore reading poems?

more since I never actually did in elementary. I tried my best to try to participate in summer school transitioning to grade nine, and it was the hardest place to ever participate in class.

I felt that I would never catch up to the critical thinking of the advanced placement students, but I did not give up, for there was still grade nine ahead. When…
