What's worse is my editing and dialogue and punctuation. It's bad.

I chose this as my focus because I feel like its most important. In other subjects there usually is one answer where it's either right or wrong. and i'm good at them like in the 80’s but in language i'm in the 70’s . Its also really important the only other subject i get 70’s in, is gym and I honestly don't care about
