Dear Professor Fornes:

When beginning English 101, I thought the course was going to be a breeze. I was not quite prepared, even from my high school AP course, for the effort I was going to have to put into my writing. While spending time developing and writing my essays, my style has improved. I have learned how to adequatly proofread in order to catch my errors. These developing skills are revealed through my writing portfolio.
I began this course with a fairly decent background in writing and the development of essays. I have always been fairly confident when writing essays for class and my grammer is usually good. Even so, I have still struggled with developing my closing arguements, a skill that I believe can only be perfected through practice.
In my first essay, "Facing the Facebook," I at first had trouble following the claims of the author of the essay. He seemed to have so many claims that I was not sure how to set up my essay. Upon learning that I did not have to align my essay to his, I was able to construct a paper with a good base and develop it into a readable and 'flowing' essay.
As i go on through my college career, i hope to become an even better writer. I would like to improve all of the skills it takes to be a successful writer, not only to pass my courses, but also to be a contributing member of society.
