Strengths

     I can come up with ideas that I can write almost forever about. I am great at doing the pre-writting steps like an outline. However, I would not consider myself as a strong writer. I am strong at writing research papers and coming up with a thesis. I try to give a decent amount of background information when I write and I believe that I am pretty good at it.
     The personal narrative essay was a pretty strong piece of writing for me. I used vivid details and gave the reader advise that can be applied to their life. I believe that my writing is not boring, so I guess I am have a strength of not letting the reader get bored. I am not the strongest writer in the world, but I try my best. I also have some areas that I need to work on and please check out my next blog post about what areas I still need to work on.

What I have learned about myself

    This year I learned a lot about myself and myself as a writer/reader. At the beginning of the year, I was not a very strong writer. I learned from my mistakes on papers and blog posts. If I had to choose what helped me the most this year, it would have to be blog posts. I think blogs posts helped  me as a writer the most is because the posts have to have a purpose and relate to various things. I like how we get to sometimes get to choose our own blog post topic because then we can work on our creative writing skills.      I learned that I am not the best poet and that writing outlines are easy for me. I said in another blog post that this year was a wake up call because we are in High School and there is a lot more work than the years before. As I am writing this post I am thinking about how I will make my goals for next year and you can see my goals in another blog post that I wrote.

Writing Center

   I went to the writing center on January, 30 2017 with a senior writing fellow. I worked on my Research Paper on the 1936 Olympics. The writing center fellow's always ask me to read out my paper out loud. I find this very helpful and it helps me see what I messed up on. I worked on my transitions and tried to make them flow more smoothly. I found the writing center very helpful this year. I will defiantly go to the writing center next year. Some of the writing fellows visited my class, they talked about how helpful the writing center is. I not only went to the writing center this semester, but I went twice. The writing center helps me calm my stress my helping me come up with a plan and help strengthen my paper. Overall, the Writing Center is a great addition to our school and it should stay there.

Goals for next year

I want to work on my vocabulary skills for next year. I will use the vocabulary in my writing to make my writing emphasis on points that I want to make. I will also try to work on my transitions. I want to make to sentences flow together more smoothly. I would like to try to make my sentences emphasis on my main points. I do not have many goals for next year because I do not really know what I want to accomplish until the time come. I tried to give some idea or direction I would like to go into. Please check out my other blog posts.
