As far as everyone knows, school is not the most fun. From your first day of preschool until your last days of high school, you dread the thought of school. I can remember back to my first days of middle school, when things began to get a little more complicated. The day I walked into my English class, was the day I knew my 6th grade was going to be terrible. The teacher introduced himself, and told the class that this was going to be one of the hardest classes we will ever take. I couldn’t figure

amount of feedback from my peers, a lot of positive feedback saying they thought my essay was on the right track. I would say I took the most feedback finishing my essay from my classmate Taylor, who gave me good advice on how to step away from the essay for a little while and reflect on how my work can improve. Since I had a hard time choosing my main topic and also revising my own work after writing it, I felt this was very helpful. I always struggle to revise my essays; to me it always looks good
When asked about one’s dreams, one may have different answers. But these days, teenagers like me will most likely answer without hesitation that their dream is to study abroad, and many of them have reached this goal as a result of their great effort. Their achievements have been published in online newspapers frequently and have never ceased to be an endless source of inspiration.

I doubted my capabilities, and in a way I was right to because other students where good at writing and I was inferior to them. I took two AP English courses in high school and both of my teachers suggested that I take more time to practice my speaking, reading, and writing. They both agreed that I was neglecting my abilities in those subjects along with my capability
I can relate to Dennis Zevely’s story in essay 3, because I’ve had many of the same thoughts that he describes having. “’Later, much later, I will be happy,’” I think to myself. ‘Everyone is happy later in life…’” I think we all go through these same thoughts at some point in our lives.
