Rebeha Barrasso
At the start of my senior year I was told I would be taking a college prep English Class, I thought to myself they must be joking. They want me, who's vocabulary includes, lol jk on a daily basis to take this class?
In the beginning we did a lot of writing assignments that wasn't so bad, all I needed was an imagination and spell check on my computer. I thought, that's it ? I'm on my way to an easy A! Then it happened , a reading assignment! I had to read a book! At this point I had never any thing except for an occasional Dr. Sues book to my brother and my monthly horoscope in Cosmo magazine But I had to do it, so I found a book that look interesting and began.v I quickly got caught up in the story, I just never made the time to do it. Throughout the year I was reading and dissecting various artist and literature.
Each piece I was expected to read it, read it again and understand it. To do that I was showed how to break it down, analyze it, repeat it in my own words, rethink it and eventually understand it. Its a process that as first was annoying and now at the end of this school year its a routine, a routine that I will use also in college, not I get it, that was the point. So now I can safely say I read more than just a Dr. Sues and my monthly magazine's. I am ready for what ever collage throws my way. Thanks Mr. Gallagher
