Importance Of Being A Young Writer

As a writer in order to improve you have to make mistakes, but you must learn from them to. Being a young writer it can be very challenging,especially when you always want to improve each and every time you write an essay. When writing my last portfolio I have set some goals that I’d have hoped for to achieve at the end of the school year. Those goals consists of working on my punctuation, making my essays more interesting so I can grab a reader 's attention and expanding my vocabulary. As the second semester is coming to an end I’ve came to realize that the steps I have planned to achieve these goals I have done. Now instead of not asking questions I always ask questions. I did try to expand my vocabulary by looking in the dictionary, but …show more content…
Based on the information above I feel that I have met many of my goals and I do feel proud knowing this because as a writer you always want to grow and develop new skills. I did not exactly follow my goals as planned for example when learning new words I did not use just the dictionary as planned I asked my mom for some choice words that would make my essay better and like the good mom she is she helped me. When meeting my goals I feel like I can achieve so much more in my writing. As semester two progressed I have came to learn that I still need improvement in some areas. I have came across an issue that I tend to make run on sentences and I also tend to put less commas in the places that is needed. I hope in the future after this class that I can remember the new techniques that I have learned this year and I hope my essays improve next year as much as they did this …show more content…
With the new skills I have learned I used them in mostly all my essays. In my cross roads essay since I have expanded my vocabulary I used that to my advantage in this essay. “When the decision was made, it was very hard to decide it was an impeccable decision and I had to be careful because if I choose the wrong career it can ruin my life.” This shows how the word impeccable is shown in this. If I have never learned this word I don’t think it would have been used in this essay to make it more sophisticated. I mentioned this piece because each piece of writing I use shows myself how much improvement I have made. I love getting a good grade to, but I want my essays to be memorable and I want to look back and be proud of myself from how far I came because I can a long way to get to this point. In the past I have had many series of issues involving a good old comma. When writing my primary research essay I feel as though my punctuation was on point. “she was afraid of objects such as: brooms, bats, and if you and somebody high fived it would deathly scare her,” I have came a long way with punctuation and to know I finally did something right feels amazing. This was included because I finally figured out the right way to use correct punctuation and that is a major milestone because I’ve had eras of not knowing that much in the punctuation concept, besides a period. Writing a killer opener is what I enjoy to do the most. When
