My English 15 experience


1.      I had some doubts walking into my English 15 class on the first day.  My friends who had Ms. Squillante last semester told me that she was amazing however, I still thought that it was going to be boring because how exciting can an English class get?  I was proven wrong because this has been my best English class in my whole academic career.  I learned a lot about my writing and I have used these lessons to help improve my skills.  In high school I was one of the best writers in my English class.  After my first paper, I realized that I was not that great.  On the other hand, I was willing to progress and I learned from the mistakes I made in the first paper.  English is one of those subjects that you will have to use in the future regardless of the career you are in.  Because of this, I am grateful that I had a great instructor like Sheila Squillante because she was open to help with any question I had and she explained them in a way that I could understand.  I saw Penn State in a good light with the artistic events that are featured around campus.  I learned that listening a book reading could actually be entertaining and that an embryo could come out of a Cadbury Crème Egg. (which still creeps me out till this day)  on the other hand, I was able to see Penn State in a bad view. Listening to the podcast showed how bad the drinking problem at Penn State could get.  Although I do not believe that this is the case for the majority of the students, it was interesting to have seen another perspective of the student drinking.\
3.      I completed my SRTEs
