    “Spanglish” English such a complex language something spoken by many, and yet many others yearn to learn it. That was me a young and fragile girl who yearned to understand a foreign language, a language that other kids spoke.

    A weakness that I have is that I do not know how to say no to individuals that ask me for help since I love to help people. It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…

    When I was in elementary and middle school I didn't really have a subject preference. I was just okay at every subject and I couldn't find myself interested in anything particular. I didn't feel lost because I had plenty of time to decide what I wanted for myself that would make me happy.

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    My strong points as a writer is me being emtional and being descriptive on my writing and I try my best to having good information on what I write when I start telling a story or saying my personal experience about anything that’s connecting to anything that I will write about. The emotional part of my writing I had strong points were my reader would get very touched on anything and I think being emotional would be my strongest point from writing an essay and the second would be being descriptive. Depending on what my assignment would be about my strongest points would get me too much in details but I try to be brief about what I’m talking about.…

    I was called by my teacher today. I knew that he was impressed with my writing before and so had a relieving kind of feeling, but that all went away when I saw him. The facial expression of disappointment made itself clear. He started by telling how my paper was too good that it was impossible for this much improvement to happen. He tells me that I cheated or copied someone else’s paper.…

    The image that best describes my writing style would be the pyramid. To me a pyramid is a structure that represents order and an attention to detail. The picture of the pyramid is structured in levels, which can be viewed as steps to writing an essay or research paper. The top of the pyramid could be viewed as selecting the topic for what I am writing. The second level is the research phase and the writing of the outline.…
