This semester I have learned a lot about writing. For example I never knew how to write an essay before this semester and although my essay writing skills are not so sharp I still know how to write one. This brings me to my next topic which what I can improve on moving into tenth grade and this would have to be writing essay's. I believe that I really need to work on my writing skills. Especially essay's due to the fact that I have received poor grades on all of my essay assignments. Although I have improved a lot this semester, for example I am very good at writing poems and the content within my poems are very strong. Before this semester the content in my poems was honestly just poor and now I feel that my content is not only stronger but I am proud to say that I wrote this. I think my goals for next year is to simply work on essay skills and making sure that I truly understand everything on how to make my essay's better. Not only will essay's help me for the following years of high school but also when I am in college. I would like to specifically work on the grabber for essay's.
