Collage
I think these four things contributed to me actually reading and writing the most. First off, I joined book club in sophomore year of high school. We would usually get around six or seven books each year. I read most of them, unless I was really put off in the beginning of the book. I remember being really angry at the endings of a lot of them, but I also remember liking a few of the stories. I read more than normally due to book club. Next, I was in English 111/112 in junior year of high school for governor school. I loved the class and the teacher, but most of the readings weren’t the most interesting to me. We also had to write a lot of papers, but my teacher never really told us what she wanted out of the paper. She basically just gave us a prompt and we wrote about that prompt, and its relation to the topic and whatever story we were reading. She didn’t really grade too harshly on the content; I think she graded to just finish grading (she had 40 students and was teaching other classes at the same time). She focused on plagiarism,grammar, and if the essay made sense more than anything rather than the actual content of our essays. She graded very leniently. Furthermore, I also took Creative Writing with that same teacher. This class was just making poems and putting those poems in contests. I loved that class, because we could write anything we wanted to write about. She also really pushed me in that class, and I found it incredibly easy to pass in. It made me love writing poetry and I still write poetry when I’m bored because of that teacher and that class. Lastly, I was in the FCA. In this club, we would read the bible and talk about it for each meet.
