Free Post - My Expectations of English Class

To introduce myself, my name is Christine. I'd say I'm just your average incoming freshman: apprehensive, but also thrilled at the same time. So far, I'm adjusting to my freshman year, and it has kicked off to a pretty good start. Hopefully, it will stay like that for the whole school year. My expectations of English I are a great deal of homework and essays. To be honest, I've always disliked English class; to me I've always dreaded walking into English class. English is my worst subject; writing is cruel to me, and I am horrifyingly terrible at it. I do like to read, though, especially books that spark an interest to me. I like to read books with plots that deal with social issues of our society and books where I can absorb something valuable and useful. I can't say that I'm an avid reader; I don't have time where I can put off everything that goes on in my life and just read during my spare time because I want to. 

My main goal for English this year is to push myself to the farthest extent on every single assignment that Dr. deGravelles assigns us. One of my biggest drawbacks is that I do really well on assignments initially, but over time I become weary and lazy, and I don't do as well on assignments that I know I am able to do exceptionally well on. I already know that I'm awful at English, but I'll strive to do my best on every single assignment and pay attention undoubtedly. I don't really have any concerns about English class, although I still am a bit anxious about it. Hopefully, it won't be as stressful or ghastly as I expect it to be. I hope English will become one of my favorite subjects!
