About me

Some of my favorite books would be The Skin I'm In by Sharen flake. Another book of my that is one of my favorites would be vanished by Meg Cobalt. What I hope to learn in this class would be to get better at my writing skills. I also want to  get better at my summarizing skills. My greatest strength as a writer would be pulling out the content that I want to write about and putting it into my own words. I use writing sometimes to express the way I feel. Writing can be very helpful sometimes.  A weakness for me when it comes to writing would be spelling. I'm very good at punctuation. I know that words have to be capitalized and where  apostrophe is suppose to go. Writing helps me out a lot sometimes. I'm good at putting things into my own words. I can read  something and put it in my own words. When it comes to summarizing and putting that into my own words can sometimes be difficult.  What I hope to get out of this class would be to get better summarizing skills and to improve my writing. When my writing becomes better it wont only help me in college but it will also help me later on in life.
