James Apo Assignment 4

The ability to think creatively and grasp concepts and literary works on a deeper level is something that English classes throughout Middle school and High School have taught me to do. The Liberal Arts Academy has molded me into a more well balanced student. To be honest, I am more of a math and science, concrete answer kind of person, and so I initially planned on going to Dunbar for their MSTC program. However, I am glad that I chose the program at Henry Clay, because it has allowed me to improve upon areas that I was weak on, most prominently English/Literature. Rather it be SOAPSToning a poem or writing an analytical essay on a Charles Dicken's novel, the balance of perspectives and finding out why someone does something can truly further your understanding of the Language. In addition to that, the ability to accept that there are often multiple right answers is something that no other type of class really offers you. Sometimes that will lead to debate, which can allow for working minds to agree to disagree, yet still understand how something is applicable to a situation. That within itself is an important life tool, and if you enhance your knowledge of the beauty of language and literature, then you will genuinely become a better writer and a better well-rounded person.
