What's In This For Me?

This English class, what is in it for me? Material wise it poses nothing of interest to me. I am an engineer, a man of science and mathematics, not so much of words and language. I would much rather make a rocket fly than write about one flying. This English class could be a stepping stone towards college for me, or maybe a challenge that I should face in life. Maybe all it offers is another point for my GPA. I am, personally, not sure. All I know is that I am sticking around for the ride no matter what.
