I have had quite a turbulent journey in terms of my life of education. I have had ups, downs, highlights and missteps in terms of everything that had happened. There have been quite a few turning points in my life as it has been quite a rough experience considering who I am as a person and the type of feelings I possess, and when school is involved, it has been quite a tough journey for me. I had a few school moments where I was satisfied with my life and I had quite a few that I was not too proud of. Things were pretty mixed to say the least.

          In terms of education, it can be described as a rough journey as a whole. I tend to be quite forgetful due to my high autism spectrum and it can take a while for me to understand things in life. I was rather different in terms of a person from others.  I was an easily anxious and agitated person which is why art is the perfect subject for me as I found it relaxing and something that I can have fun with and calm me down. Due to who I was, I was not the greatest at writing before. I didn’t really do too much reading as I always found it to be boring, interesting and sometimes pointless. I always liked to rush through things due to my personality and always wanting to get things over with, not realizing I was making mistakes. It causes me to be frustrated because that means I would have to do it again and I would constantly learn the lesson to take my time when it comes to my writing and plan things out. I do better when it comes to typing as I am not the best when it comes to handwriting. 

Back when I was in A-tech high school, I did have an ELA teacher named Ms. Canale. She did managed to make ELA easy for me to understand. In class, we often read aloud together and she would often help me when I was having trouble with it. Her assignments were usually not very hard and I was able to do alright in them. At times, we would often work in group and collaborate more if we were having trouble. Ms. Canale was easily one the teachers I enjoyed the most and of the one of the teachers who always guided and supported me the most. She would not penalize me whenever I was late (which was rare). She always knows that I try my best despite who I am when it comes to my reading and writing and always tries to help me whenever I can. She was one of the few people I was quite comfortable with in the school because I do have a tendency to have social anxiety and it was largely because of her, I was able to overcome that. I could not be more grateful for her.
