While earning my B.A. I read the Norton Anthology series for both American and British literature. This was a positive reading experience for me because I was able to learn about historical facts through an empathetic lens. Before reading these anthologies I was not very knowledgable about historical happenings, but after reading these books I have a deeper understanding.

Another great reading experience I had while earning my B.A. was through the book Rama the Steadfast. I read this story in a mythology course and developed a love for reading things that would otherwise be out of my element. This was the first book that truly altered my taste of reading, and widened my horizons.

Another positive reading experience I have is through poetry. I discovered a love for poetry after taking a class for fun. Now, I have an entire book shelf dedicated to poetry!

One of the negative reading experiences that I have had was reading history books. For some reason I cannot retain any information read from history books. Perhaps this is because I like and need to feel empathic while reading.

Another negative reading experience was trying to read the aforementioned book. This was a book recommended by someone, and as much as I wanted to connect and get into it, I simply could not. From time to time I encounter books that I cannot relate to or connect with which makes them challenging to complete. I gave up reading this book after a few chapters in because it was too complicated to comprehend.

Another positive writing experience that I have had was writing a critical analysis paper based on a reading. This was an interesting paper because I got to showcase my writing and comprehension of the book while trying a new approach to writing.

Another positive writing experience that I have had was writing a paper for a Shakespeare class. In this paper I had to choose a play and decide which elements of the play I would choose to keep, and which I would choose to alter. I also had to describe prop choices and costumes and explain their significance. For this paper I chose to write about A Winter's Tale and the importance of using a real bear for the performance.

One negative writing experience that I had was by writing an essay that had a fifteen page minimum requirement. This writing process felt redundant and I was really pushing my ability to write a concise argument after about the tenth page.

Another negative writing experience that I have had was in a chemistry class where I needed to include an abstract. This was a very challenging paper for me because I did not have experience with this style of writing.
