My 11th grade year I took level 1 Manuf & Eng witch was half of like a machining class and the other half was a welding class. The Machining part of the class was ok but the welding part I was better at. By the end of my 10th grade year I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to be in life. At the beginning of the 11th grade I was in level 2 Manuf & Eng in the Welding program. All through my 11th grade I got better at welding and I was also in a program that was called Skill’s U.S.A. that took place at my school on tuesday nights. Through my 11th grade year I got not only better at welding but I got to make things that not everyone in my class got the chance to make. I got asked to make a metal fence for the school that only 4 other students got asked to make. And the reason why we were asked to make it was because at some point in time someone drove back to where all are scrap metal was and …show more content…

Students will be more likely to learn if it is something they are interested in. Next, many students at East Ridge High School want to have classes that teach them about the field they would like to go into. If we don’t have those classes, students will never be able to experience learning about that topic to see if that is what they want to do in the future. The text “Middle School Electives Can Launch Self-Discovery” tells us “If we can prepare them, in a prerequisite sense, for the highly targeted, skill-based electives offered in high school, we create greater articulation at the high school level,” Barnes said. The experience of electives helps more graduates gain a sense of where they’re headed and the clarity to set and meet their own goals.”

Personally, I am currently enrolled in a marine biology course simply because it was the only science class left to fulfill my requirement this semester. As an English major, I have no interest taking this class and I find myself struggling to comprehend information that I will never need to know for my future career. Similarly, in an article for her school newspaper titled “General Education Courses are a Waste of Time and Money,” student Alyssa Pracz discusses her experience with taking general education courses. She argues, “The fact is that most students don 't approach these courses with the same sort of devotion as they do with classes they see as being useful. Professors, however, tend to teach the material as if everyone taking the class is planning on majoring in the subject” (Pracz).

For me, literacy has always been a problem to this day I am still learning how to speak, and write using proper literacy. Literacy is not just reading and writing, anyone can do that but the ability to understand such things, to comprehend them that is, true literacy.
