Me as a reader

As a reader I have my strength and weakness. A strength I have is the ability to connect the words of literature to my own personal experience, but I also have a weakness. One of my biggest weakness when it comes to reading is procrastination. I sometimes tend to put off reading because I feel I have time. But time is not in my side and by the time I realize that it'll be too late. Reading serves an essential role in my education. It teaches me how to analyze and connect literature with real life situations. I personally like to read, but I prefer to read sci-fi, drama, or action novels But as I progressed through AP Language and Composition I learned that a true reader can connect to any novel. This a weakness that as a reader I have to overcome. Literature can be exciting but it is up to the reader if this statement is true.

Introduction

    Hello, my name is William Blake.  I am a junior and I attend Ben.C.Rain High School. I have many hobbies/extracurricular activities I enjoy. My favorite hobby has to be JROTC. JROTC has taught me many things that I can use in life and has offered me many opportunities. I am also apart of Ben C. Rain's football team. My coaches have taught me a lot throughout the season and I use what they have taught me and I apply it to my everyday life. My last hobby is being a member of the band. The band is excting, but it is not all about the music, it also teaches discipline and how important teamwork is. My favorite subject is History.  I like playing video games, working out, and hanging out with friends.  My expectations for this year is to: increase my GPA per semester, keep my grades at a A average, and to score a 30 on my ACT. I am excited to see what is the outcome of this school year!
