Decent Essays

My life has turned into a new chapter since I started attending TAMUCC. Everything was new to a high school girl like me. Time flies so fast that it is now the end of the first semester. Even though it has been only 4 months, I have grown out of my comfort zone and have seen myself changing every day.

Example, she gave us an article calls "Superman and Me", we had to read and answered the questions to define the primary point. It was not only a regular assessment for practicing but the content of "Superman and Me" also motivated the readers to continue improving the cognitive skills regardless of hardships, because writing and reading are essential subjects that will help us in living. If I do more of one today, I will better at other. Sometimes, my English 1302 and Seminar class had common assignments; my professors would break the assignment
