My favorite piece of work in my portfolio is my MLA Citation essay titled "The Great Gatsby : The Tale of the Ill-Fated Lovers" that I submitted last semester. This essay didn't take of lot of time to construct, as it is a simple summary of The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald. However, my favorite part of the essay are my last three paragraphs where I analyzed different elements that have made literature from this time period classic. The irony of Daisy and Jay's love is one that is highlighted in my essay. Also, the symbolism of the green light is something I discussed amongst other elements in my essay. Overall, I am quite proud of this MLA Citation essay. I think it says that I am quite good at analyzing text and pieces of literature.
My academic goals have shifted even more in the positivie side of the spectrum. Starting out as a freshman in high school, my top priority was classes and grades. Although, it stil is, over the last semester and the past of this one, I have become very interested in the subject matter and topics I am learning. Esoecially in Algebra and Spanish. Math was bever my strong suit and eas afraid of failing my first math high school class. However, after throwing away all doubts, and coming prepared to learn, I mastered everything from systems to inequalites in a semester and got a perfect score on my final. In Spanish class, as we moved through the basic chapters in the book, my pssion for learning Spanish grew and grew even more. I am so glad I found m passion in these subjects.
My least favorite subject is Biology. It hasn't always been a least favorite subject. In middle school, I was so happy and content with studying life scienes and basic chemistry - I connected to it because I had a kick of natural curosity that comes with that age. However, when I realized the load of working hard to memorize so much - and I knew in the back of my mind that I don't usually have to force myself to memorize facts from my favorite subjcet! The rigidness of the classroom's atmosphere combined with this simple fact makes me feel so uncomfortable with biology.
