An Upside and Downfall in My Education

Chemistry, one of the hardest classes at our school, served as my best educational experience. No, it was not fun and it was not easy, but I gained the most out of this class than any other class I have ever taken. Ms. Boppanna, my teacher, made sure that she made our lives a living hell. Everything was graded for correction. In her dictionary there was no such thing as a curve or a completion grade. Homework was assigned every night. She not only implemented the periodic table in our head, but also instilled a sense of urgency to accurately get things done in a timely fashion.

Throughout my whole life writing has been my strongest subject. Even if I have had some poorly written papers, I actually enjoyed writing them.  My junior year, my English teacher found it in our best interest to construct a group essay. Although many people would be relieved at such a concept, I was appalled. Relying on someone else to get a good grade was not what I wanted. My group went on to receive a C; my first and only C on an English paper. I, along with every other student should be accountable for my work and my work only.
