I thought that I should have done better on the English portion, so for every novel I read for the next 6 months, I looked up every word that I did not know or was unsure of.

I ended this sentence with the preposition "of". Comments anyone?
I personally don't find any fault with this sentence, however, I certainly would appreciate the input.

I was also told by an English teacher of mine, that a sentence could never start with "Because". I have never agreed with her assertion.

"To boldly go where no man has gone before" is an entirely acceptable sentence, in my opinion, even with the split infinitive.
