My Experiences This Semester

Coming into Reading 104, I didn't know what to expect. Although I am a very good reader, reading wasn't my favorite subject growing up. I think used to think reading was so boring and that it had nothing to do with my anything in my future. That is where I was wrong. Reading is my future. I can't pursue my dream if I don't like reading. I used to skip over words and ignore major parts. As I got comfortable with different strategies, such as annotating notes, defining words and picturing images in my head, I realized it wasn't so bad. I was more comfortable participating in class, having group discussions and voicing my opinions. I missed a few days of class, which caused me to distract myself from a few assignments so I had to learn the hard way that attendance plays a very important part in success. I started making sure I came everyday and got to know a few other students along the way. This class has been a great experience to me. I came in not knowing anything and having a dislike for reading to know everything and reading now being one of my favorite subjects. All this is because of you Stephanie. Your one of the best instructors I've had. You taught me that reading is not only something I need in the future, but that it can be fun. It just takes hard work. I want to thank you for turning me into a good reader into a GREAT one. This course is an unforgettable one. Not only will I take what I've learned in this class to when I transfer to a University, but further beyond. I thank you so much for the opportunity and it was pleasure to meet you. Thank you for everything. You are amazing :) .
