Since I joined the English 103 class I have learned a lot that has helped me all through.

My participation in class has helped me a lot as it has improved my understanding of the teaching that goes on within the classroom. The main reason why I have been so much focused in this class is because of my desire to be among the best English speakers and writer in the class.
When I moved into the United States three years ago I did not know any English language. This made life very difficult to me because I could not communicate well with people around me. I lacked friends due to my poor English and could not get a good employment. The English 103 class has helped me overcome this as I have grown to learn the English language improving my writing and reading skills too. Our Professor Dr. William Wallis has been very instrumental in helping us through this English class through his poems that has made learning an easy task. From these poems and readings we have improved our English and it is all thanks to him.
My average performance in class has been good and so I can say I am one of the top students in this class.

It is due to these reasons that I feel I deserve a better grade from this class. My feelings are that I have greatly improved and so I should be awarded a distinction for the hard work that I have shown throughout the learning period. Dr. Wallis has been a good teacher to me mainly through his poems and articles that have acted as a source of encouragement to me during this learning process.
The article ‘Warrant Glen’ for example is a very inspiring story by William Wallis. This article is mainly an account of friendship that occurs in high school and the violence within and around. The setting of this story is exactly the same as what is happening to me now. I am just about to clear my English 103 class and move on to the world. Just like the character Will Falk I also want to forge a good life for myself. This novel has taught me to shape the world around me and not to allow the world to shape me.
The other story that is inspiring and helpful to me is the poem “Family” that shows the importance of having family and friends.

It helps us appreciate the value of family and is very inspiring especially to me whose family is several miles away from me.
