About Me

My name is Kaya, and I am currently a freshman, soon to be a sophomore.  My skills in writing, reading, and revision have yet to finish growing. Since seventh grade, I have grown exponentially as an English student; I am comfortable in my ability to read, write, and revise, but I have much to learn and plenty of space to grow. This is why my English Portfolio shows great significance, my Portfolio demonstrates my growth and experience as a reader and reviser during freshman year of high school. Not only does my portfolio record my growth and new abilities as a writer, I write my "hits" and "misses" for this year and take you, the reader, through the experience of  evaluating my strongest papers and weakest papers, my "Hits and Misses."

Writing Center Experience

My writing center experience was fairly brief and was actually for this portfolio project. I was not confident in the page titled "About Me" and was hoping to get some strong revisions for the paper and apply the new knowledge to other papers. What I was hoping to revise was the grammar, fluidity of the work, grammar was the primary problem. My writing fellow, to my surprise, could not find a grammatical issue. What my writing fellow advised me to do was to give more about "me" as a student.

Goals For Next Year

Sophomore year is close and it is time I set an objective for next year as an English student. Obviously, sentence fluency, transition, and revision ability are number one priority problems I am set to fix; there are other devices in writing that when I use are problematic. Examples being personification, point-of-view, and similes. With these goals set in mind I want to go above and beyond and aspire to be one who writes poetry comfortably. My goals in writing set for sophomore year will help me greatly and ensure strong writing.

Working

When there are strengths there are weaknesses, while writing some of my weaknesses are obvious and some aren't. I would so my most significant weakness is sentence fluency, the flow of language is arguably what I struggle with most. On many occasions during revision I am confronted with a familiar choppy writing on the page. Lately, I've been using transition words and have applied them to text, although there is progress, my sentence fluency is far from perfection. Presentation is a simple problem that is seemingly easy to correct. Unfortunately, I make many mistakes with MLA format, such as correct date, works cited formation, and indentation. Luckily, being aware of the problem will only help me fix the issues.
