How To Improve My Writing

This quarter has been very eye opening and a new way to think of learning English and language arts. I found out that I've been able to grasp ideas easier and that I have a handle on the way I discover ideas effectively and efficiently. I started out the quarter not being able to comprehend ideas coherently into one thought and I struggled with that throughout the poem and the hard moments essay, but writing this it has been much easier to think of and communicate my ideas through writing and speaking. I have used resources like paper rater and slick write to help improve my vocabulary and grammar skills in my writing and in my everyday life. They have been very helpful and are amazing resources to improve my writing. Often I was thinking …show more content…
I have been able to comprehend texts easier and understand their meaning in a more intelligent way. Understanding what something meant, has always been hard for me because I could never look under the surface for the deeper meaning. Although some things are straight to the point and don't need a lot of looking, there is always at least one hidden meaning. Just this year my vocabulary has expanded immensely and it has made reading varying structures of text easier, yet my knowledge grows every day by trying to find new words to explain the topic I am talking about.

I do not like to depend on others to finish the task because I fear they will do it wrong, and I only depend on myself to get the assignment done so I know it is done right. As a person I tend to be very independent and I don't like to seek help from other people, so when it came to asking questions I don't think I asked any at all and it has to be me that figures it out. If I can't figure the problem out I sulk and ponder it until I find the answer; I am not just a question asking person I don't like that I don't know the answer and it makes me feel unintelligent. Holding myself responsible is the only way I will keep my grades up and finish my assignments on time and correctly. I knew that if I didn't turn just one assignment, my grade would drop in some way or another and I don't like when that happens. Most of my work met a high academic standard except for one piece which was my dream poem because if there is
