My Writing

English has never been my strongest subject. I was not a very good writer freshman year, I wrote how I would talk to someone face to face. I never did a pre-write unless it was a grade. I realize now that for writing to be good, my thought must be organized. Sophomore year, we did not do many papers but the papers that we did do, I improved since freshman year but I was still writing like I talk. The aspect of writing I struggle the most with though is the introduction and the conclusion paragraphs and the transition from paragraph to paragraph. It is difficult for me to get started on a paper and to wrap everything up. I have worked on it this year in Humor and Satire but I hope to be and feel more confident about the start and the finish to my papers at the end of this year. Also, I do not know how to transition into the next paragraph. I have not worked on it this year so far, but I am going to start now and hopefully improve before the school year ends.
