Looking Back on Me

I have progressed dramatically as a writer, reader, and a student. There have been many hindrances in this process, but I still have gotten this far. The one thing that I have improved most upon is my writing. I have learned that I need to focus mainly on grammar and the way I connect my paper's elements. I have discovered that most of my arguments are sound and have very good evidence. I also found out how I work best. I need to be alone and have a quiet space. I also like to write the majority of my work in one sitting, so my thoughts can flow together and it allows me to remember everything I think about when I am writing.

I have improved as a reader as well. I have learned how to read for content and how to read for enjoyment all in the first 3 quarters of my Freshman year. I think that is pretty good. I have learned that I retain information very well and that makes me a very good test taker. These are some examples of my evolution as a first time high school student. I have improved in all of the above categories, but I have improved the most in writing and I think that is what Freshmen year English is all about. I would say I have passed the course and obtained the information I need for the rest of my English life in high school.
