Explain Why I Deserve A Seat In English 101
Everyone deserves a seat in English 101, but, unfortunately, it cannot be that way. It is upsetting, but I do understand the circumstances. Therefore, since not everyone can be in a class like this, I will say this: I deserve a seat in this class. Not because I think I am better than the other candidates, but because I truly want to better myself, so someday, I can say that I am one of the best.
I know you know what English classes do, how they work, and all the benefits, but I would like to show you how I see them! In no way am I questioning your intelligence on the subject, just showing it to you from the perspective of an excited student. English class is a very important class, especially for a college student, like me. English classes teach students to read, write, and recognize flaws like a professor. Without basic english classes, students would not understand readings or lectures in other classes, we would just read the words like we did when we were taught to read. English classes help us understand what message the author or professor is actually saying. We will not just be reading letters formed into words monotonously off the page, and then forgetting it two seconds later. These classes help us put

Sure, sixth grade Honors Language Arts is probably significantly easier than Honors English 101, But I am so ready for the challenge! In my junior year of high school, I got into my first AP class, AP Language and Writing, and it was difficult. Probably the hardest class I have had in my high school career, but I still passed. I still pursued, even when I had math, spanish and physics homework piling up, and I had two instruments to regularly practice. I am pretty good at multitasking, if I do say so myself. But that is not something I am going to do if I get the seat in English 101. When I am in that class, my focus will be on whatever we are reading, writing or reviewing that

    English 1101 was not like I expected. I came into the class thinking this was going to the hardest class I have ever taken. Turns out that the class was one of the easiest subjects I have taken this semester. There were only a few essays that had to be written which was good and bad thing at the same time. My grade was pleasing considering the fact that I am only a sophomore in high school. The class will be every beneficial in the future; when it is all over I will appreciate taking the course. While the structure of the class was not put together well, the English 1101 class turned out to be manageable.…

    “MLA! MLA!” These were the words my 8th grade English teacher Mr. Robs would yell at me. Being an 8th grader, I was not entirely used to a more advanced writing style. It was similar to what I had been used to writing with only a few more advancements such as 1” margins as well as a header in the corner. However, I would find out his style of MLA was not all that correct either, and when I moved to The Meadows, I had to re-learn MLA. Writing has not always been my favorite but when I get started, I get on a roll and cannot stop until I finish. English as a class itself is not that interesting in my own opinion but it ends up being the teachers that make it tolerable. However, when we do more in class elements such as projects and papers, that also makes it more fun because we are being proactive and not sitting around listening to a lecture. Of course, there are days when I do not want to do anything, and the best part is when I walk into class and we get to watch a movie or write a basic in class essay.…

    Throughout elementary and secondary education, challenge and regular English-Language Arts classes were offered to the student in my school districts, each with the goal to build on what the previous class had taught us. Whether it was sixth grade English where short essays and essay structure was first taught or eighth grade where the grammar and prose were drilled into our heads. Whether it was sophomore year where the challenge ELA class began writing five and six page essays or in AP Language and AP Literature where everything we had been learning was now applicable to our writing and we learned how to write a synthesis, rhetorical analysis and arguments. I truly believe that all of these classes prepared myself adequately for what was…

    By using this I have discovered what my goals and dreams are. I wanted to pass this class and go on to college but that's not going to happen if I fail english. I realized that all that busy work she was giving us wasn't actually busy work. She showing us how hard it can be in college and most of the material now that I come to think of it helped me with everything I did in that class whether it was vocab or learning to write a better thesis statement. My goal for that class was to pass with an 80 or high by the end of each marking period and to not slack on all my work and to do it well and on time. Now I actually do my work ahead of time so that I don't forget and I have time to go back and look over it and sometimes I have a little free time to myself. My current grade in my CCC English 102 is an 89 and so far i've been doing things days before they are actually do so I make sure it's…

    English 101 has been an amazing class and I feel like I have grown more than I expected. I was apprehensive about taking an English class because I have been away from school for almost seventeen years. I have not written an essay since 1996 and I knew many things have changed. I was especially concerned with citations. However, I found myself being able to work though citations with little effort.…

    English 101 Reflection

    English 101 however, helped me improved the areas in which I was weak in from high school. Before, it was difficult to find the bigger meaning of an article, poem, or any form of writing in general. However, with the help from taking this course I was able to figure out how to add meaning to the essay. I also learned how to add evidence and analysis them better in my body paragraphs as well. It was difficult in the past, but now I gained skills such as outlining, writing rough drafts and the organization needed for a successful essay. I hope in English 102 that I will use my English 101 skills and be even more skilled in my essay writing. I also hope to learn more about adding evidence within the paragraphs and honing in the essay to make it all flow together. Also in English 102 I hope that I will learn to be more confident with my essays. I have talked in a couple of assignments where my confidence makes me question whether or not to add certain analysis into essays which sometimes may have made my grade not as good as it could have been. In English 102, I hope I will not question myself as much and show more confidence. I also wish to eliminate repetition in English 102. I have received many comments that I repeat my analysis a lot and that also cuts of some points of my grade. I need to continue the analysis more rather than just repeat it in a different way. With these two core English classes that I have/will take, I know that my foundation in writing will be…

    Up until the summer in between freshman and sophomore year I had not fully established the ideology by which I wanted to live. I had passions in life such as classical music, triathlons, at the time engineering, and service, but I had not found the way or in a sense style of life I wanted to abide by while also doing the things I truly loved and enjoyed. At certain points prior to the summer, I had glimpses of what I wanted to be and how to carry myself. My most memorable experience of this prior to my life changing trip happened to occur in Barcelona. I was touring the city with my friend and fortunately on the tour was a stop at La Sagrada Familia, the beyond incredible Basilica that dominates the skyline. I walked up to the Basilica casually…

    When I first walked into AP Lang and Comp, I thought this is going to be another year filled with horrible writing and pointless reading but to my surprise I was wrong. On our first in class essay I scored a 4 slightly above average and ended the quarter with a score of 6 which was nearly double the average score. The jump from getting a score that was slightly above average to double the average was not one that came with ease, especially given the fact that I was absent quite often. Taking into account the fact that I was gone often, as stated before, it took a significant work out of class to both better myself and my writing which shows my motivation and enthusiasm to surpass my…
