Statement Of Purpose For English 101

To begin with, I joined English 101 because I am doing general studies at the moment. Secondly, I took the placement test and the score I received was best suited for English 101.

I had previous experience on writing the way we did in class. I learned it in high school, but my grammar has been an obstacle.

I entered English 101 not knowing what to expect, but that’s life, not knowing until you get a chance to know someone or something. I took English 101 after I finished English 100 and I must say it’s a major difference with the aspect I've learned. I had a tough time in English 100 with writing since I didn't know what to write on paper even though I had numerous ideas in my head. I came a long way and practice makes perfect but in reality no one’s perfect, so now that English 101 became a part of my study, it gave me additional confidence in myself and what I'm capable of doing.

English 1010 has provided me with more knowledge than I ever gained through out high school. High School English did not prepare me for college at all. My senior year I had one paper due at the very beginning of the year. After that, we switched to Shakespearian literature. This literature consisted of us watching movies and taking quizzes rather than writing. The reading during high school did not interest me.
