Hits and Misses

I have never been a particularly strong writer. Throughout my years of school I have noticed that I have excelled in maths in sciences. I see myself as a more analytical thinker and it's harder for me to be an abstract thinker when I am writing. Blog posts are probably one of my most challenging works this year in English. Aside from them being due every Monday. I feel that we are presented with a rather small topic and are required to stretch it out into two strong paragraphs. These posts are most likely easy for many people, but for some reason I find them difficult.

The literary analysis we worked on this year I saw as one of my best works of writing. Since I was retelling a memory in vivid detail and I could look back and just tell my story just how i remembered it. It required less abstract writing than most papers and I found it less difficult. I also feel like written a paper like that is also my most improved type of work. I've wrote essays and summaries in the past, but I feel like I improved on larger works or writing.

What are some tricks and ways to manage your time at Episcopal after your first quarter?

At Episcopal for the most part, you have lots of time to complete your assignments and turned in on time. It is extremely helpful to have a study hall and even use your tutorial time wisely. Making the most out of your free time at school and getting your assignments done will create less stress and hopefully lead to better grades. However, some weeks can be more difficult than others. For example, if a break is coming up teachers may give out last minute assignments to get them in before the break. It is helpful to anticipate these weeks and even try to get ahead of your assignments if at all possible. Athletes, it is very important to stay on top of your schoolwork for a few reasons. One, time for homework is taken away due to after school practice. It is important to try to get as much work as possible done in school. Two, you have to do good on your assignments in order to maintain the grade in order to play your sport. Schoolwork seems to be picking up as the school year goes on...

Strengths and Challenges

Some of my strengths as a writer is using real life experiences and relating them to my writing. I can start to identify different connections in my life and make it into a well-developed story. I have learned the many different steps of writing and this has truly changed the way I view a writing assignment. I still feel like I have a lot to learn, but I also feel like I have grown a lot as a writer over this past school year and I will continue to use what I learned in years to come. I feel that I need to work on the in-depth development in my papers. I have always seen this as a weakness of mine and I wish to improve on this in years to come. I feel that the area of developing a paper is very important and is a reason why I wish to look more in depth into this problem. It is important because all good writers can covey exactly what they want the reader to understand and fit it nicely into their story. I look forward to fixing this problem and progressing as a writer.
