The food industry topic is not one to mess with when getting into the nitty gritty. I have learned while researching many things that were absurd or uncalled for. Definitely I can argue that recently the past couple of years there has been both passive and aggressive moves to convince people to eat healthier.

Learning nouns and adjectives, solely remembering how difficult it was to distinguish the two at the time. Constant sentence constructing exercise, and of course the spelling bees where the winner would receive a grand prize of a snack or homework pass. These memories would later set the foundation of my love for word construction. Later transitioning into middle school, annotating became a repetitive exercise, consisting of using context clues, finding main ideas, and supporting details for future essays. Annotating in particular however still sticks to me to this day. How prominent and stressful my teachers would implement and lecture me how c
