My eighth grade English teachers said that reading comics, Calvin and Hobbes was one that I like to read, did not count towards our reading requirements for the course. I have also been required to read certain books that did not interest me throughout middle and high school, and especially now in ERH 101. I was not able to find able to find alternate sponsors for the literacy that interested me, because I did not care enough about reading in general to do something about restricted or required reading. I have never been very argumentative about doing what is required of me in order to achieve the goals I have set for myself.
