I learned about nouns, verbs, how to put sentences together and so on. In 9th grade, my parents enrolled me into an international school in Kuala Lumpur, which taught the American education. I was there until spring, and moved to Houston and continued high school there. When I began writing papers, I was shy to let anyone proof read them, including my parents. I never understood the concept of proof reading.
People read it and point out all the wrongs of the paper.
I never felt comfortable to let anyone read my paper. Not until my junior year, I had to write a paper for my English class, I got my parents to proof read my paper. They pointed out what was wrong in my paper and explained to me the concept of proof reading. I feel that because of proof reading, my writing skills have improved. I have been speaking English since I was very little.
