While thinking back to previous classes I’ve taken throughout my life, I was told multiple times that “gonna” or “ain’t” wasn’t the correct way to use a word. Another thing I seemed to struggle with was when I would write “me and my mom” instead of “my mom and I”. Growing up, I had a problem with my speech, so trying to correct my mistakes wasn’t always the easiest thing. Teachers would never say why those words weren’t okay to use, they just weren’t proper and you were expected to know that. Today, I have definitely come a long way, but I still sometimes write sentences in a non grammarly way. While I can’t remember a specific time this has happened, I have definitely taken the criticism and used it in a positive way. Sometimes I slip up and use the wrong grammar in my school work, but that’s what being human is about. While there are proper ways of what language actually is, it changes everyday.
