From my first time in college as a freshmen, I thought I got the basic knowledge of a English class from my years through out school. As I was taking the class I realized there were many improvements I needed to work on. English 1 A semester has increased my writing skills in ways I didn't know I needed help on. My writing skills have increased a lot and now I know how to write more in my paragraphs and I also can write longer essays. Writing is not only what I got out of the class. I am now more awake in the world around me. Reading The Handmaids Tale got me thinking on either I should sit back and watch the world ruin it self or take charge and try to make it better. My English 1 A class was a great class to take, I really enjoyed every part. My future academic goals includes me majoring into biology and transferring out of Las Positas after three years. Then I want to go to San Jose State to end with a Bachelor degree. My job that I want to peruse in is being a Physical Therapist. I always felt the need to help people and for the longest time I wanted to be a nurse, but resent times I am thinking about being a Physical Therapist. This is my future goals.
