Throughout the semester in Dr. Kennedy's class I have improved on many writing skills and techniques. In the class I have worked on the meal plan, thesis statements, the flow of the paragraphs, putting research in my essay and writing conventions. Me being an early college student has been challenging, considering that the highest English that I have took is English 2.

One thing I did to keep my college and high school work in order and to make sure I get them turn in on time is to write the assignments down in a planner. The planner has helped me become a better student in the way that I have more time to get my assignments done, which improves the grade of my assignments. The progress I have made in ENG 111 class has helped improve my writing conventions and dealing with being in high school and college at the same
