I failed my grade 12 English final 3x...
And almost didn't graduate high school.
I've only told a handful of people this story... But we're friends now, right?
Even with the help of 8 English tutors, I had to retake grade 12 English twice and retook my final 3x. I finished high school with a grade 6 reading and writing level...Which made me loath English class and writing.
But this past year, I've grown to learn that doesn't mean I can't be a writer outside of academia.
Don't let school discourage you from pursuing opportunities.
My poor writing skills in school might have actually helped me with copywriting. When it comes to copywriting, we want to write in simple terms (like below grade 6 reading level).
And Back in May, I was writing atomic essays on Twitter for a writing course, Sangeet was the first person to ever complement my writing. I'm grateful for his support.
Next year, I'm on a mission to improve my writing by 13 folds. And part of improving my writing will include a one year mentorship with Lukas Resheske. With the end goal of turning my writing from my weakness to a strength.
Come along the wild but jolly adventure with me as I share insights from my copywriting mentorship with Lukas.
