Autobiography

I am from Egypt, and I attended school there until the age of 10 years old. It was one of the many memories, that I don't mind leaving behind. They were extremely strict, and used horrible methods to teach. If we missed a homework, misbehaved, forgot to memorize what were assigned, there was always consequences, mainly hitting. With a ruler, they would strike your hands. Sometimes the whole class would even get it, just because of one or two students talking. In simple words, it made me hate school, and learning itself.

Reading and studying doesn't come easy to me, and therefore I was never fond of school. I always attempt to do my best and try to improve my capabilities, but I feel like it never gets easier. In High School, I had to read few book in my literature class, and thats when i actually enjoyed reading my first book. It is called The Outsiders, and it remains to be my favortie novel. It kept me thinking and anitcpating all throuhout. I just enjoyed it and found it to be well told. Sometimes i just need a push, or motivation to start reading.

In the beginninng, im usually very shy and tend to keep to myself. However, with my friends, ill pprobably be the loudest person and usually the one to push others to loosen up. I am a teacher's assistant, so my work day is from 7am to 3pm and then I have school at night. By the time i get home, im usually exhausted. In my free time though, I like catchin up on my shows, or go out with my cousins and friends.
