Growing up reading was not my favorite thing to do. As a matter of fact, I believe I only read three books the whole time that I was in school, reading ws very boring to me.The stories that were in the books seemed to go on and on, I would always lose interest real quick. As I turned older, I started to read more often. Short stories are my favorite. One of my favorite set of books are Chicken Soup for the Soul.( And of course if you ask me in front of people I will deny it.) I also like reading books about famous murderers and criminals. At the present time I am reading a book called American Murder, Criminals, Crime and the Media. I is written by Mike Mayo. Its about America's most infamous psychopaths, assassins, criminals and villians. It consists of about 300 short stories.
Writing was something I avoided to. The essays that I have done in English 100 are probably the most that I have wrote in 25 years. It is hard for me to put my thoughts done on paper, but after taking English 100, it made it a lot easier for me to do. Taking this course i was worried, English was probably one of my worst subjects in high school. I figured that I was going to have a hard time taking English in college, but to my surprise it has been a good experience. I was not sure that after 25 years of being out of school, that I was going to remember anything. A lot of stuff has changed in those 25 years. I never had to write an essay or even any kind of a story that I remember back in school. We didnt have computers either, so when you mentioned the word blog, I was lost in space.I have learned a lot and enjoyed the past 3 months.
Hi Greg,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you have learned much in the last three months. It is difficult to believe that it has been that long. Have you considered writing about the differences in education between that of HS and of college or you tell us now that you enjoy reading and writing hasn't been of a difficult process
Onto the writing you did the day we discussed Task Four -- you mention that you will write about the achievements and of your college experiences. I find it interesting that English was your worst class. What more can you tell me about that. If you intend to write about the last 25 years, how do you intend to transition to your college experience in only three to four pages?
