Dear Mom, Dad, and Mrs. S,

It has always been a bit of a struggle for me to produce quality writing in every one of the six traits. I think that when I use my time wisely and really focus hard on my writing, and especially my ideas, my writing can turn out well. When I wrote my Coming of Age, I was really expressive and it turned out pretty great. But when writing the CE, I knew how important it was, and I didn't use all the new 'techniques' that I learned about, and rushed it. I know that I do have a lot of potential like many other students do, and I have work to do. (:
NEXT QUARTER; Next quarter I actually have big hopes. I think I need to practice more, and one good idea I think I will remember to do is to make more drafts. Instead of trying to make my first essay perfect, I know it's a good idea to be able to go in and revise. I need to work on putting more voice in my essays, and also work on my word choice.
2nd quarter is going to be hard, but I want to be able to add some fun too.
