Dear Reader,
In the beginning of the semester, I was mildly enthusiastic about passing the class and getting the work done. In the majority of the second semester in 12th grade, I was incredibly apathetic and unmotivated to do most of the work in my English class. But thanks to my counselor’s and my teacher’s assistance, I was able to muster up what little strength I had in me and get the work done for the last 5 weeks of school. Thankfully, I barely passed the class with a D and barely graduated high school. I thought that after relaxing during the summer vacation, I had put those thoughts of apathy and carelessness behind me. I began to change again during this semester and not for the better
I’m not sure if I learned much from this class. The things I can remember that were taught in this class were things that my English teacher in high school had already covered. I’m not sure if any of my writing improved because throughout the semester I had no will to write essays. I faced many obstacles during the course, most of those obstacles simply being me not bothering to work the essay. A few of the obstacles were that the essay prompt was completely unrelatable to me. I was simply unable to make an essay out of something I had no experience or knowledge in. But this was easily fixed. However, there was still the issue of not putting in effort to finish the essay.
I didn’t learn much that would help me in the future. In the future I should try harder to overcome my deep-seated feeling of apathy towards finishing classwork and passing classes. I enjoy writing, especially writing creatively. I find it to be a fun way to just let out ideas. I wish I could have done more, assuming I would have done anything.
Sincerely,
Armen Balkian
