Learning English as a second language is very challenging, but not impossible. As it is the way in any type of language, mastering the English language requires frequent reading, talking, and writing. As a freshman student at Tennessee State University, I am taking the English 1010course, and I have been studying and preparing for thecourse very hard to achieve the highestgrade possible in the class. This commitment demandsplenty of time and hard work. It also requires a diligent consistency.Perfecting the talking, reading, and writing of the English subject results in an outstanding grade. At times, when a student has a different mother tongue, efforts should be given more value than a mere mastering of the language without exerting any hardship. Working hard in mastering this course is what I choose to do to improvemyself, and the change in my ability should be noticeable enough to afford me more encouraging reward. Also, attending every class, turning in my assignments on time, and participatingin class discussions were notable actions worthy of the most encouraging grade; A. I should earn inthis course. My grade in this English 1010 course should be an A for other important reasons.

First of all, as I have mentioned it above, I have a good attendance and participation in the class. Attendance and participations are not only very important to improve myself but they are also indicators of the effort I put in the task of learning the subject. This effort deserves a perfect grade. Which is perhaps an A+.Secondly, I have completed all the assignment that my instructor gave to me on time. Timeliness is an effort deserving another A+. I am not claiming I deserve an A+ in all aspects. In the first assignment, I got a low grade whendiscussing about the major subject that I was going to take while attending Tennessee State University. I had many grammar, spelling, and sentences construction mistakes in that assignment. Then, I worked hard and I had a good progress in the subsequent product review assignment. I wrote about iPhone 6plus, and earned an excellent grade on it, although it was not perfect, and I had a few mistakes on it. I am making a point here that progress was in the making. Also, in the midterm exam I got an A because I worked hard again. After the midterm, I had another respectable grade on the writing aboutthe right to bear arms in educational institutions. The trend shows that the old days of poor communication is almost gone. Why then should they count in determining my grade today? Third, I have been participating in the class with the discussion among students. This takes the sharing of one’s self for the benefit of others. Of course the sharing is not completely altruistic as the benefit was mutual, however, this is a different dimension of demonstrating my progress that deserves another A+. I always took my classmate’s comments and advice, and appliedthem to my life. I have many improvements during this course starting from bad to very good grade. My grade has been improving because I have learned and studied very hard. I think it is fair that my overall grades reflect where I am now and how far I have improved from where it used to be, rather than putting into consideration my poor performance days in the overall grade. The present is what matters and I request that I be treated and awarded live, not based on yesterday’s performances. I have learned many things in this course, and I reduce my
