(the learning objectives I had in my english class)
Being a
freshman in an excellent university has affected me in so many ways. There are
times where I get pressured by my parents to maintain being part of the Dean’s
List, but mainly pressured by myself. The are different kinds of subjects now
that I’m in college, even though some of the lessons have already been taught
in high school. I’m not a fan of English subjects so when I saw that I had to
take up a certain class called Englcom, I wasn’t ecstatic about it.
I remember
the first day of English class when our professor immediately told us to bring
out yellow paper and start on an essay. Shocked and confused, I looked at my
friend and said “is this serious?” I never thought college writing would be
like this because back in high school, English class meant quizzes and
lectures. English class in college meant nothing like that at all. It felt like
I used up about 50 pages of bond paper, printing drafts just to get the right
essays.
Even
though college writing is way more stressful than high school writing, I can
say that I’m thankful to come from an exclusive school back in high school
where they taught us how to write essays the right way. College writing may be
more serious and formal but I know that this can help me in future as I look
for job opportunities.
