  1. My interpretation of this quote is that people may often miss out on things because they are scared to fail before they even try.
    I agree with this quote because success doesn't come easy, the road to success is long and full of obstacles but you will never make it to the end without taking that first step if you live in fear of failure

    1. Honestly , I have no fears or insecurities about English.

  2. I think this statement is true. I think when people get older they get more embrassed to fail or when they fail. LEARNING IS AN LIFE TIME THING AND EVERYDAY A PERSON IS ALIVE THEY SHOULD LEARN SOMETHING NEW. Nothing about english class sares me. The apect that conerns me the most is myself, will I be able to stay focus and on track long enough to pass.

  4. My interpretation of this quote is that people realize that there nothing out there without a good education. I strongly agree with this quote because life is hard without an education. Passing should be a goal so they can do better in life. This world is getting harder and harder by the minute so why not pass and succeed.

    I really don't have any fears or insecurities about English not that i know of, might do you never know. Later in the future I might have an issue with some word or anything
