Back in Elementary school, my favorite was science, hands down. The teachers actually made it super fun and entertaining with all the little experiments and school-wide events that would take place every year. I remember I was so enthralled with science that I actually aced the TAKS test that we do at the end of the school year. My best friend who was in the class across the hall, aced it as well and there was a moment people thought we somehow cheated, but we were just both super into the subject lol Reading was a close second since grade levels would read the same book throughout the year and then, if there was a movie, we would have these huge movie days where we could bring snacks like an actual movie theater. Some of my best school memories are during these days.

In middle school, I was accepted into my school’s GT program, and I quickly started hating every subject lol Mainly because it was no longer about making the material fun, but making sure everybody passed the test at the end of the year. I made my very first ‘C’ at this time unfortunately and began struggling. This was also around the time the Twilight cultural phenomenon was happening, so I read the full series pretty quickly. I began reading more on my own time during these years, so I guess reading became my favorite subject.

In high school, I struggled to pay attention and focus yet again. I enjoyed English and Psychology the most during these years. I just HATED the books we had to read per the curriculum. Way to make a whole group of people hate reading: by forcing them to read mediocre YA dystopian novels. What was cool about that however was the actual author came and visited our school and spoke about her whole writing process which was pretty sick and redeemed themselves a bit.

Basically, I have always enjoyed reading, I had a steep falling out with science, and I never even knew math on a personal level lol I just realized I totally forgot about social studies and history……that about explains that relationship, I guess. I will say as I am older, I do have a better appreciation for history, I just found it immensely boring in school. Again, mainly due to HOW it was taught.
