This short essay was written in first person which is by the author name Salvatore Scibona. At first he managed to always fail his classes in High School because he just purely wasn’t interested in school. To him his future was a toss up because he wasn’t sure what to do with his life. He then admitted later that he actually didn’t know how to read but somewhat reading made him happy in a way. Until he came across this girl who received a college brochure and realized the types of books they read which made which interested and want to attend college. Which he did and basically turned his life around. Love reading books and was the hobby he enjoyed the most. In the end the author ended with closing statement by comparing his old self to the way he views himself now which is a huge difference. To me personally, I like the book because he adds some funny moments, and liked the way he transitioned into this different person going into college. Each paragraph resent his thought process and how he felt about life. He even added a paragraph with one sentence which was weird and different.
Great post Tyrell. Keep up the clarity and the strong opinion.
