A year when I faced something challenging was this year's ELAR class. At the beginning, I didn't know what to expect, but now it's a bit easier. When I was new to this class, I was scrambling to finish all my assignments while my mind was going crazy. I disliked this class a lot because of all the work, and how fast the teacher went, but now I am on good terms with all of that and everything has calmed down since then. I've come to realize that all this is for me to increase my knowledge and help me grow academically.
