Assignment 6 - Lia Jacobs - I Guess I like Repetition?

High school has made it very apparent to me that I am not an English or history kind of person. I wouldn't consider myself particularly bad at these subjects, but when I do work for these classes it just feels like busywork.

I'm a math and science kind of person. I like learning a process and repeating it over and over again. Most people groan and whine at the sight of a page full of math problems, but if you know the process well, it becomes very simple. For me, a sense of satisfaction comes from being able to do something and get the right answer every time. I can't tell if I just have a good memory, if I put in more effort than others, or if it's just an innate ability, but learning definitive processes like this has always been easy for me. Classes like chemistry, computer science, and calculus have meant more to me because you learn something once and then you repeat it.

I think that's probably why I've never really enjoyed English classes, there's no definitive process. It's so subjective that you never really know if you got it right or wrong. I guess there's a rubric to follow, but it's just not the same.
