As a reader I feel like I have strengths and weaknesses. Before entering Mr.Rease’s class, my weaknesses were that I never knew how to focus and be able to sit down and actually read a book without easily becoming distracted. But over time and since leaving his 11th grade class I have nearly mastered reading at a steady pace and retaining important information all at once. I use to procrastinate my readings thinking I could just skim through the chapters and all the information would be in my head, but I’ve learned its best to start ahead in order to absorb all details.
