| "Like misery itself I was glad at least to have company." |
All it took for me to succeed was for one person to show me that I could.
I hated English classes. That is why I was sitting in the auditorium of a baptist church taking the AP English test with the rest of my class. I wanted to do anything I could to avoid taking at least one English class in college. By the time I was half way through the test I knew I couldn't pass and get college credit. I was nowhere near prepared for this test.
It wasn’t just me though. No one passed. No one was prepared. Like misery itself I was glad at least to have company. Not too long later I went to my first day of college English. It was a sunny September day on the outside, but on the inside my heart rained.
