This is my blog. I love reading; I have absolutely way too many favorite books to name one here. I also love to write. I think that being able to write is freeing. To be able to create an entire new world, just with words, is incredible.
English is one of my favorite classes. It always has been. If you are reading my blog, you should expect to see my personality come through when I am writing. With free writing (even though we have assigned topics) I think that people should really be able to get to know the writer through what they are writing. I do hope that all you readers of my blog do enjoy what I write and you find it interesting. To me, the meaning of English class is to be become more familiar with our language. English is a really important class because you can never really run out of things to teach. There are so many different books to read, and to discuss, it's hard to imagine that there would ever be a shortage of things to do.
I think that having English for four years is important because later in life it is going to be a make or break it skill. It may be that you need to get into a class in college, or that you need to find a job, and if your English skills are good enough you might not be as eligible for that job. To be successful in life at all, you need to be able to communicate with people. Whether you live in New York City, and deal with many people on a daily basis, or whether you choose to be a hermit, and have someone in a helicopter bring you food once a month, you still need the skills to communicate with those you interact with. Academically, you have to know how to read, write, and communicate. If you can't do that, you can't excel in any area. Whether you like science, math, or history, reading and writing are still parts of those fields. English is something that anyone can be good at, as long as they apply themselves.
My blog will be full of posts like this one in a few months time. I hope will come back to read more!
