As a “Advanced Placement” student during high school much of my time was spent writing essays on various topics and challenging prompts. Many of my essays centered around structuring supportive arguments to push or pull the audience in my direction of belief.

Every year in middle school and in High School english would be on my schedule, sometimes even with two different english classes a year.

It was also good that he starts his first paragraph off with
this class, I was very inexperienced as a writer and I did not have much knowledge on the different types of essays and stories that we wrote in this class. Intermediate Composition has taught me a ton about how to use a variety of skills and how to greatly improve my writing. In the classes I took during my previous years of high school. We did not have much of a variety while writing essays and we were limited to specific guidelines. Unlike my previous classes, we were able to choose the topics we

Before this class, my English classes in high school were always difficult for me because I was not the best reader or writer. However, with the help of Professor Morse, my reading and writing abilities have vastly improved. I have never felt so confident in my reading and writing skills until now.
