Week Three:

The reason I am taking this class is because I have never read a book and I do not ever read anything. I have a very poor vocabulary and I am not someone you would call very book smart. However, I do have common sense. I am much better working with my hands then doing any type of school work. It will be a major challenge for me starting off because I have nothing in common with this class but that’s also why I am taking it. I want to read and I do not want to sound like an idiot when I talk or interact with people of higher authority then I am. I hope that in this class and can at least expand my reading ability and that it will open me up to a lot of new things. I know that just by taking this class will not change who I am or what my interests are but it might help me not despise everything about reading and maybe, just maybe enjoy it a little. I have tried to read a lot of different things because everyone tells me I just have not found something that I am interested in yet but everything that does interests me does not if I have to read about it. I do not know if there is like a secret behind reading that gets you to get involved but what ever it is i would like to know so please tell me!

  1. Kaleb, I think the secret is finding books that won't let you go...

    (Very thoughtful post.)

  2. This is crazy! It's so much like me. At first i thought i was taking this class because i needed a higher grade for the eng placement test but i think theres a more meaningful reason why we're both/all taking this class.
    -You said in class that you were more hands on and not book smart. Made me think of how much it runs in my family too!
    ps. nice popcorn box outfit :)
