WAS GOOD WITH ENGLISH



               I have always, always hated English class. Every other subject I can enjoy the learning, lectures, and work; but with English class I just have trouble. I hate writing assignments and always having to change my writing style to the teacher's liking. One thing I do have to say is somewhat enjoyable about the whole writing process would have to be reading and understanding the assignment. Its when the teacher wants us to do all this extra stuff that is annoying. In addition to I would have to say writing openly about a easy topic is not as bad. What  I mean by that is that I do not have to worry about my grammar, structure, or anything. It is almost like these blogs, but growing up in VA my old English teachers would write a topic on the board and we would write about whatever comes to our mind about that topic. The only guideline would be the page length, which they always made them a half page long. This type of writing I liked because unlike essays, where they take so much time, effort, and stress. It was a stress reliever and the topics were fun to write about.

Deadly Deadlines!

          Deadlines are so stressful! I make it a high priority of mine to always turn in essays and projects by the assigned due date. This is why it is so stressful to me. I want all those points and late points will only harm me. I never did amazing things in English class, so those deadlines had to be met in order for me to have the best grade. There is times where I will not have the homework in on time, but if its a big essay or project that has a significant amount of points to it I make it my priority. I honestly think nobody in school likes deadlines besides teachers. The worst part is when the amount of work you have and other things in life mess up your time management for the deadline, and this I feel is the real stressful part of deadlines. Even though deadlines are very stressful, somehow I always seem to get my work in on time. There have been times where I think its a miracle that I finished a assignment and was able to get it turned in time. For people who do have trouble with deadlines and feel they cannot get those assignments turned in on time, I would say that you need to figure out your priorities. If you plan on being a student it has to be your priority or you will not have success. Keep up with the work and turn in those assignments by the deadline, because in the end that job you have that is helping you pay for your car, house, family, and etc. you are going to be glad that you finished school and made all those deadlines that allowed you to pass.
