where I currently am. I have improved my style of writing and the way that I edit my papers. I also noticed that my thesis statements have become more impactful, straight to the point, and easily convey the topic of my entire paper.

At the beginning of course English Composition 1, I received grades that were below 90% on each of my writing assignments. However, toward the end of this semester, I turned that around and worked to get better grades.

I stare at her, attempting to put a genuine smile on my face. I reluctantly open it, fearing any sort of unnecessary writing. As I sit blankly gazing at the pages, I realize the knowledge I have come to learn and understand over the

Throughout my 8th grade writing career, I have changed a lot. I used to despise writing assignments, and I always procrastinate when I have to work at home. Now I find myself enjoying some of the writing tasks. I still think some papers are pointless, but I have started to enjoy prompts such as narrative writing. In fact, I have even started to write my own story for fun. As a writer, I’d say I use pretty good language. I can describe things well, I’m good at organization, but I can improve on all

ALL through high school, I have struggled to put my thoughts on paper. I remember being told from you “remember put in your own words”. I truly had a difficult time completing this task.
