learning

I was asked today if I was learning anything in my English class-it blew my mind! I am learning so much in this class I have been blown away. This is my first English class in so many years, so every time I come to class I learn. Really I think sometimes I was placed in the wrong class, because I don't know if I never learned these things, or perhaps it was so long ago I do not remember! Either way, I am glad to be retaught the importance of a sentence.

A sentence: subject + verb. Such a little thing, but so hard to remember!!

I must say that learning in this class has been wonderful. Taking two classes at once and working is hard. I feel for the women in this class, and I am sure some men also, who really do not have the time to come in to English class every Saturday. I know that it takes so much determination to push yourself into something that tips the scale ever so lightly into pure pandemonium. It takes up so much of your time to enroll in a class, but the end result is so wonderful. Your education can give you so much in return, such as a better job, pride, and a feeling of accomplishment. To each and everyone of my classmates I give them a pat on the back for being there. I know its tough, but it is soooooooooooooo worth it!

I am rereading my essay from the remembered event, I should have gone back to the writing center one more time. I made some really stupid mistakes. My goal now is to watch the tenses, I have learned that when I was younger I did not care about writing, so I failed to learn so much. This time around, learning means so much to me. Maybe we should have kids work when they are young, and as they get older, give them an education. I know there are young people out there who are good in school, but I was not one of them. Too bad there is not a re-do on high school. I would so kick some arse now!

You Always make me feel better. i'm struggling so much and your words remind me it's worth it. And i did the same thing with my RE essay and i notices stupid mistakes like misspelling small word and so on, so i know we all did it. Ironically i thought the same thing, i wished i had gone to the tutor one more time. I know you still did awesome though. Oh and can you believe that we are already half way through the class. Well see you later.
