my experience with english

I’ve struggled with English since elementary school and it was never my favorite subject because of how poor I was in the class. My teachers noticed I was way behind grade level when it came to writing and reading and tried their hardest to get me to practice at home but never bothered doing so because I had no faith in my writing/reading. I finally became more comfortable with my writing during my last year of high school in AP Literature. I’m still not perfect but my teacher taught me a lot about English. The most important thing I learned from his class was confidence! Being confident when speaking and writing is super important in English because it helps you move forward and help improve your understanding. During huge assignments, I was always stuck on what to write and was afraid I might say something wrong. Due to my lack of confidence, I would always leave my assignments blank which lead me to falling the class poorly and gaining nothing. Once I developed the confidence to begin participating and completing assignments, I and my teacher noticed progress. Overall, confidence is key in English because it pushes more broad ideas which are essential to us when we are reading and writing.
