I have always been proficient at every subject that I have taken. Math is not everybody’s favorite subject, but I think it is challenging and fun; history is my favorite subject and I love studying it; science for me is as challenging as math, but twice the fun. In my opinion, I have done fairly well in all of them. However, I would say that the subject that I have excelled in at my school is English. Back on my sophomore year, I really hated writing essays because I easily got bored of the work. Other aspects of English such as grammar was fine with me and I was proficient with them, but when it comes to writing essays, I found it hard to put my ideas into writing. I preferred saying my ideas, but writing, I thought, wasn’t for me. Because of that, English wasn’t a subject that I looked forward to at school. Nevertheless I knew I needed to learn how to write essays because I would have great need of that skill for college.
However, over the next few years I began to like writing. By learning the writing process and working on different topics that interested me, writing them began to get easier for me. Because of my English teacher’s help, I began to love English and at the same time I began to excel in it. Now I’m one of the top students in my English class as well as my year. English is one of the classes where my grade is the highest and English is not even my native language.
Every subject I have been in, I have had excelled. However, I feel English was the one that I really had a hard time dealing with and triumphed. It was a great challenge for me and my hard work and diligence finally paid off. I had some obstacles I had to cross in other subjects as well, but I had loved those subjects and I felt those were not really my hardest trials. Conquering your fears, finally facing your hardest test and not only overcoming it, but learning to love it in the end is how you really excel. English was the hardest trial I had to face among my classes and I conquered and came on top.
