final

Have you ever had a goal ? Of course you have and my goal is to be a better writer by the end of this semester. I want to be able to write better than I ever wrote before.  What I mean by this I want to improve my grammatically mistakes, sentence structure and my transitional sentences needs to flow better. To show my improvements I will receive an A in my writing class. Another thing I will notice is my fear of writing will decrease and I will write with more confidence. These tasks must be achieved in order for me to become a better writer.

 I need to improve in all categories of writing. First my grammar has to get better by me showing more effort into reading, instead of me doing other things. While I’m on the computer doing non productive things I can be studying or reading. Also when I’m texting I will stop abbreviating my words.  Next I need to improve my sentence structure. My comma usage needs to improve so my sentences could be more sophisticated. I do not make a lot of run on sentences but I want to lower it to none. The last thing I need to improve is my organization of  my writing and I plan to improve it by getting extra help. One way is getting help from the school, which means going to the writing center instead of the gym. The writing center has tutors there to assist  me with the writing ofmy papers, and may even teach me  a few new techniques in writing that may improve  my upcoming papers. Another way is getting help from my fellow classmates. Thanks to my teachers we have ways to contact anyone if we need help, for instance through  texting, emailing and on their individual bloging. Those are all substantial changes needed to be done if I want to improve my writing.

 In order to show my improvement I must receive a good grade from my writing class. As I look forward to improving my writing during this class, I must give it my all. I know its not going to be a easy road, but I am fully capable of making this change. Right now I am struggling to write this paper because I am easily distracted and not giving it my best effort. This class is testing my dedication to become better at writing. I must communicate with my teacher so she can guide me on the right path of becoming a better writer. As this class progress, if my grades increase steadily. Then my writing is improving, but if it decreases that means this paper means nothing and I lied to myself. I know that I am going to get a high grade in this class.

Writing my written assignments without anxiety  is a sign  of my improvement. When I was in elementary school, I was the worst writer in most of my classes. I would try my best to avoid participating in written work by acting out in class. I was the class  clown to hide my problem, which was I couldn't write appropriately. I was not a bad student, I just was not disciplined enough to keep trying to improve instead of giving up. My mother tried to get me extra help, for example a private tutors and learning centers such as Scores. It helped me improve a little but not as much as I would had liked, so I gave up on myself. In math, I was a 90 student most my life. Math was my favorite subject because I was confident and good at it. Because I was so bad at writing, it became more of a fear for me.  As I got to junior high school nothing changed for me. I still was barely passing my writing classes but in math and other subjects I was doing well. My confidence in writing was real low. Being a competitive type of child, I was not happy that the other students in class were better than me when I was great in every other subject. My family is very competitive with each other. I was compared to my cousin in school every year. He had better grades than me mostly every year. I want to become more secure in my writing, so I will gain my confidence.

In conclusion my goal is to improve as a writer. Some ways I can do that is to read more, increase my vocabulary hence my  sentence structures and my transitional sentences will flow better.  One pay off for  all my hard work, I should receive  a good grade in this writing class. Another way I would know if I  accomplish this goal if my fear of writing diminishes. and I will feel new confidence within myself. All this will show I have achieved my goal.
