I remember Mr. Errico. Both of us were newbies to SAS. While he started the year off, by making cool and fun raps about every word from the 8 words of speech. We were memorizing his wordy raps. Later on, we were writing essays from reading, “A Long Walk to Water (ALWT),” articles and even about how an everyday object and yourself are kind of related. He’s also the first teacher I have met in any of my classes in this school. The teacher that helped me write 100% more efficiently than last year.…

comes to writing, I should begin by saying that it is not my favorite subject. I am more of a math or science person, give me equations or graphs any day over papers and essays. Now although I feel this way, I would like to think of myself as a decent writer. I have always done well in my English classes and on my papers and essays for those classes, but doing something well and enjoying it while you are doing it is two different things. I would not say that I hate English and writing- that is…

I can’t really remember learning how to read. I guess I was just too young. I remember learning the process of writing when I was in kindergarten. I did not attend preschool so kindergarten was my first go at school. I remember living outside of Portland Oregon at the time, going to a small elementary school only in the afternoon. My memory includes me crudely trying to scribble out words onto the large, double lined paper. You know the kind you use when you are first learning to write. At the…

Transitioning from college to high school was a huge milestone not only for myself but the people in and around my life. Coming from a small town that everyone knew and of course getting good grades. I knew my life at CSULA would change my life for the good and that my choice of coming here would benefit me. But before I came I faced a lot and still face some barriers. First and for most, I was the never good at public speaking all my life I would dread to speak in front of a class and hated it…

lot of practice. I struggle learning to become a good writer. Growing up I never knew much about writing essays, letters, or story's. It would take a long time until I inhabit good experience as a writer. I am not a good writer because I am not good at, and it is very hard for me. Trying to be a good writer never works out for me at all. No matter how hard I try to write the perfect essay. One of the reasons is that if I tend to write about a specific topic that I have never wrote about, or…
