The strengths that I have as a writer are the flows of ideas that comes up to my head as I’m writing. When I start writing, I always have too much ideas floating around the sentences every time. But I realized that it could be a sign of good writing. I was well at explaining the plot of the events which contributed to a better writing than it used to be. It’s also better to have this strength as a writer because even if there is a bunch of different ideas on the writing, I can look over it again to make sure if there are anything that doesn’t make sense or connect to the ideas that I’m explaining to the reader. It means that it also contributes to a better editing skill.  Even though my strengths can improve my other skills during my writing, I have trouble editing after I start organizing some of the sentences in the paragraphs. The most important cause could be because of the issue of my organization and my word choice. I tend to repeat the same thing over and over again bet

The piece of writing that I enjoyed this year was the personal narrative. It was somewhat difficult but somewhat enjoyable at the same time. The most enjoyable part of this essay was when I had to describe the details of what happened throughout the events for my topic. I also enjoyed the revisions because it required me to think more about the specific events. The part where I felt like I grew the most during this assignment was when I had to edit and find the better format so I can make it a better essay. In addition to the success and enjoyment that I had during the essay, it also gave me a chance to grow as a better writer.              The piece of writing that was the most struggling for me was the literally analysis. It gave me a lot of time just to finish my rough draft. I think the reason why I struggled was because I had to find the specific evidences from the book, which ate up my time I needed to edit my draft. Then I needed to spend much more time to finish final draft.

I always get distracted by technologies especially when I'm working on my homework. Sometimes I get distracted by them even if I have homeworks that takes me hours and hours. Rather than looking at random websites, I choose to turn on some music to focus on my homework. It works well for the first few minutes but not for long. I start to focus on the music that I'm listening. So the good option for me is to not use any technologies at all.  But if I don't use any technologies, I can't focus either because I need some noise to make me focus. The best time for me to do my homework and assignments is when I'm rushing and stressing myself out. I would have a pressure of finishing my homework on time which causes me to focus for a long time. But it's a common sense that stress can be bad for your body. 

Purple Hibiscus is causing me some troubles so far. I couldn't understand the scene where Jaja and other people went to the funeral because the wordings sounded too abstract to me. But it was interesting to see the contrast between Kambili before and after going to Nsukka even though some things didn't change like how Papa is dedicated to his religious views because I knew that Kambili was affected by his violence during the first part of the book. I also felt uncomfortable about how Papa acted in front of the public and in front of his family members. Papa has good reputations from the people in public because of his awards and his donations to charities. But he acted totally different in front of his family members by forcing them to go to church and giving severe punishments.

I chose an article called, "Is Global Warming Real?" from National Geographic. This article explains about how the temperature change is affecting the climates around the world. The author indicates some of the reasons why the temperature is rising, such as the greenhouse gases and some particles from the volcano. I chose to read about this topic because I've studied about how the greenhouse gases are affecting the environment in the world during my biology class. I was also interested to read the articles from National Geographic since I liked how it focuses on the natures of the world. But just like how the author mentioned in the article, the debate still continues. Different people believe different facts that could be the possible reason for the global warming. The author of the article didn't specify the reasons for the global warming, just the evidences that the places on earth are warming up. I can agree to the author's explanation about how greenhouse g
