Me + English

I've have a love/hate relationship with English. I like writting pieces like response paragraphs or how I felt about a book or story but I honestly hate things like poetry and reading. I find it so extremely boring. But I also think depending on the teacher I have it affects  my outlook on it. For example I had Ms.Nijjer last year and I honestly did not like her class or how she ran it. She had systems that I found pretty useless and complicated. So I was so unhappy in that class, not because of my classmates or the teacher because of the way she ran it. I think that even though it's a bad habit I try harder in classes where I like the teacher. For example English, I'm not bad at English to be honest. But last year I didn't try as much as I could have simply because I didn't like the teacher.and I ended up getting a 65%.  In grade 8 I did so much better. I ended up getting an 88% and honestly knowing my self I did try harder because I loved the teacher I had. But other than academically speaking I do like to write but I only to do it when I'm stressed out or something like that. I listen to music about twenty-three hours a day. I always have music playing! I also watch a lot of movies.  Thank god for Netflix! But I honestly do think I'll do well this year and I will try my best mainly because I like the system Mr. Neuf has like the whole idea of you controlling your learning. I like being in charge and responsible for my education. So I look forward to this semester!

  3. I'm glad you are already owning your own efforts and the natural consequences that come with changes in your behaviour. It is a double edged sword for sure, so if you want to have more control you have to take the responsibility that comes with it.

  5. I agree when you said English is a love/hate topic, some pieces in English are very boring but Mr. Neuf has a way better system and I couldn't agree more with having Netflix because I also enjoy watching movies!
