i was the least pupil in class to figure out the spelling of my own name and surname, English Language was such a pain in the ass to be sincere but I am grateful for trying to cheat myself so to speak into getting a perfect score in one of the English Classes because when i was found out eventually i paid dearly for it in tears and swollen buttocks so i went home and studied, I picked every English book and most importantly newspapers i could find and whilst i still don't consider myself up to par, I am a professional script writer and a novelist. The very subject i hated quite frankly became the only subject i care about a lot.- by anonymous.

I'm used to being lax online. But I thought it was 'am or I am', but 'I'm' balance the sentence finish.
