I have always LOVED Math and Science. I have always HATED English. That has always been, and I do not think it will ever change. In High School, I learned nothing in my English classes because I always had the mindset like "I hate this class", so I never bothered to learn anything. However, I did manage to get an A's all through high school in my English classes, but that was because I did all my homework and a lot of extra credit. When I got to college, I knew it was not going to be as easy for me to get an A as it was in High School so I knew I had to straighten up and really learn. Coming in to Howard University, my writing was horrible. I always had good thoughts and ideas, but they could never transfer to my writings. I had a huge problem with comprehension, I would have to read something over 5 times to actually understand the material. In this English 002 class, I really tried hard to improve my reading and writing skills because I really want to know how to write well-written papers. So far, I think I have improved a lot from where I started. However, I still feel that I have a long way to go. Wish me luck!!
It's funny, my experience in highschool was the exact oppisite. I HATED Math and Science and always loved English. I too came to Howard with the desire to improve my writing and ability to be able to write well-written papers. I believe that English 002 has definitely been a major building block in order to do just that.
