High School English

High school, a milestone I have not only passed but succeeded in completing, as clearly shown by my prestigious choice of university. For me English was always a struggle, I always got the feeling my teachers and myself never fully clicked, especially in English class. Writing seemed tedious; an exertion not an expression where thesis statements and correct formatting clogged my mind. The droll of timed writings in which I spent half the time lost in my own imagination truly set the standard for my appreciation of English class. Now to be fair I always viewed myself as a decent writer, but I struggled to express my ideas on paper, and I always considered my grammar to be atrocious. I found myself scrapping for motivation in long essays over books, that I never truly read. I was stuck; beached like a whale in a sense struggling to escape the scheduled life of high school. Now begins a new chapter; gone are the days of comparing SAT scores and stressing over college admittance essays; it's surreal to think that at this point in time life may never be any better. Now I truly believe that for English class as well, a new leaf has been turned and I whole-heartedly believe that English class may change along with it. I strive to believe that in this college experience that everyone raves about I will finally be able to write in a way that I want and not by a format a teacher tells me to write. But other than that, nah hopefully college English will be a blast.
