College One
Mrs. Flores
have to do something with my life. Not that I didnt know I had too already but just a
vision or thought of where I dont want to end up in my one life.
I have read a lot since I have started college and I believe I have improved a lot
since then. With that being said, my comprehension and critical thinking skills have also
improved. I have earned to connect readings with each other and as well as connecting
the world around us. The two books we are reading for my English class, The Kite
Runner and The Prose Reader, are both extremely great. Both have stories and
experiences that most people go through in a lifetime. A strategy I have learned to use
while reading is to highlight important characters. I never used to do that, mainly because
I didnt read much, that all changed this semester for the better. As I read a quote in one
of my English 100 readings from Alice Kellys Toughen Up!, ...The most difficult
situations in life involve significant change., and I find this true, but change is good. I
also learned to break down reading in a single day, so that I dont get sleepy. In
conclusions, I hope to read more throughout my college and university experience and
excel in my vocabulary.
As I stated above, my reading skills improved significantly this year. I highlight the
words that I dont understand and as well as new characters.
This book has helped me a lot with my vocabulary skills and was used a lot through my
first semester in college.
