Unit 1 Draftâ
Since I was young, I have always loved learning, going to school, and making new friends. I also loved playing in the gym after doing different types of exercises with the gym teacher that I used to have in my old school.
My favorite subject till this day is math. I loved math because I always used to get the answers right no matter what type of math we used to do in my old school. There were other subjects I used to find a little difficult for me like ELA, and social studies. I found ELA, and social studies difficult because I had a hard time reading things on the board and on paper. The teachers used to help me a lot because at that time I did not have a CCTV machine to help me see things on the board and I couldnât see things on the paper either.
Now that I am in college it is sometimes still a little difficult, but it is not as hard as it used to be. I am always trying to stay strong and think positive.
