Things I Learned This Class

Most Important: 

I have to work on reading. My comprehension skills are extremely weak.

Least Important:

I need to let go of feeling inept. The learning and achieving is reward enough.

OK - not fair. I graduated high school in 1974. 😎

I do remember that I was not to ever use "I". Now I am going to break off from that thinking and use the information found in our assigned essay. The persuasive essay which I have attempted to write will make far better sense if "I" is used. Maddalena states in her essay "First person can help you express, very simply, who "says" what" (183).
