Before taking this English 101-A course‚ I had a particular perception when it came to writing essays and English language. In High school‚ I was a really lazy student.

With the very few assignments left to do as I wrap up my spring term‚ J 101 has taught more things than any other class and completely changed the way I view English grammar now.
