Recommended: Reading Skills and Strategies

Out of all the quarters this school year, I feel like this quarter has made me progress the most, because I put a lot of effort into reading books and enjoying them, there are many . As expected, I got better and faster at reading but an unexpected change was that I write better compared to last year. One of my major losses was that I was becoming uninterested and bored from too much reading, which explains why my total pages read decreased compared to the other quarters. For the first time, the order of the books has changed drastically compared to all the other quarters in this year, all of the graphic novels that I have read are at the bottom of the because they are easier to read, and convey the story more clearly. The books that

  • Analysis Of Richard Rodriquez's The Lonely Good Company Of Books

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    Each year as I grow old, I tend to discover and learn new things about myself as a person as well as a reader, writer and a student as a whole. My educational journey so far has been pretty interesting and full of surprises. Back in Bangladesh where I studied until high school, my interest for learning, reading or writing was so very different compared to how it has become over the years. I could relate those learning days to Richard Rodriquez’s essay “The lonely Good Company of Books”. In the essay the author says, “Friends? Reading was, at best, only a chore.”(Rodriguez, page 294). During those days I sure did feel like reading was a chore for me and how I was unable to focus and I could never understand what all those jumbled up words ever meant. It was quite a struggle for me in class when the teachers used to assign us reading homework. I felt like reading a book was more difficult or painful than trying to move a mountain. Just like how moving a mountain is impossible, trying to find an interest in reading was

  • Sophomore Year Reflection

    2015 was a real turning point in my high school career. I finally started working harder in school and started to enjoy it more. Although the enjoyment came right back down, it was still fun while it lasted. My writing however, has greatly changed. SAT #2 was where I really started having fun. “For Susan was a sinner. She smoked Crack Cocaine every day!” (SAT #2, Nowak) That was the SAT journal that made me realize that writing didn't have to be a chore. However the second half of the year was a little different. I think I started to grow lazy. My previously fine-tuned papers were now pretty much rants. “Pink is used anywhere from romantic nonsense to childish obsessions.” (Gatsby Color Analysis, Nowak) For my Gatsby analysis, my writing was all over the place and covered a wide range of topics. Unfortunately it made it sound pretty bad. I am starting to get better and regularly

    Throughout the semester i only learned few new things but i did improve and solidify my skill of writing. Before my first year of college my skills have always undermined by other high school english teachers and with that came disappointing grades. I am writing this paper as a reflection of the semester and the progress i have made as a writer. I now understand many things that my high school teachers have done a poor job demonstrating and i am grateful that i decided to take my own route in my education instead of their syllabus. I entered the semester with anxiety that i would perform as i did before but i clearly outdid my own expectations by receiving top grades on my essays.

    First off all, now that we were disconnected, we found plenty of hours for personal interest. We all read more that week than we had reread during the six months before. I finally decided to stride in the dark section of my closet all the books my sister gave me last year. I chose the book that seem most interesting from the cover and summary, I removed off the grey, long standing dust and just started reading, and I couldn’t keep my eyes off! Who knew I had an interest in urban novels. We also enjoyed some hobbies we had ignored for ages. Board games was not a hobby to joke about .Playing an old fashion Caribbean game of dominoes. My family would speak like a Spanish sailors saying profanity after profanity. Secretly while they holler, I would cheat and slowly switch my useless dominoes with the one of their valuable ones. In addition, my sister and I both stopped procrastination with our homework. We finish homework for the rest of the two weeks and projects that was due a month from now. With no technical distraction, I notice how fast I did my assignments. I didn’t have and urge to give up, I felt knowledgeable with no stress on my shoulders.

    It was the end of my freshman year when both of my best friends moved out of New York. I couldn't imagine surviving the next three years of high school without them. I’ve always noticed how everyone would hang in a pair, or would speak to the same group of friends. As for the loners; well, they would be alone. I accepted the fact that this would be me; doing things on my own. However, I didn't call myself a loner; I thought of myself more as individualistic. And being individualistic was how I successfully survived the following three years of high school.

    I was once told by a teacher that scholarships receive about 1000 applications before their deadlines close, and around 10 of those people are accepted. A one percent chance. He said that statistically, 50 percent of students drop out of college, even with scholarships. That gives me a 0.5 percent chance. I did not work as hard as my body would allow me, for a 0.5 percent chance. I did not overcome my parent’s divorce, for a 0.5 percent chance. I did not double check my homework, instead of wondering if there was enough food to feed me and my 4 brothers tonight, for a 0.5 percent chance.
