Cover Letter

This is my portfolio on my blog. I feel like I have gotten much better with my writing through the process of this class. I understand how to brainstorm my ideas better and come up with thesis statements alot faster. The process of a essay is clear and the format of the paper is way more undertstanding than before. I think my blog (portfolio) deserves a B or B+. I worked hard on my assignments. Sentences have become easier to come up with and making a paragraph the length it needs to be is not hard because I know that it needs 3 examples and a topic sentence. There are little things like tenses in a sentence that are coming to me better than they usually do. I notice the small grammar errors when I use to not. I plan on writing for the rest of my life and this class had definitely helped me become a stronger writer. Im probably going to take english 101 which will be easier for me because I took this class. Im really glad I had the opportunity to take a english class because it not only helps me at MCC but at Westwood. I feel like I am more experienced with writing than alot of other people in my classes. So I can take AA English with no worries. My final writing project is on paper.

Writing Project 5

The influential people in this world are an inspiration to all. There are many reasons I look up to to those kinds of people; such as, being an example, not following the crowd, and going over and beyond on everything they do. I always look for those people who are just amazing and are friends with everyone.
First, being an example to others is one of the biggest things people look at in a friend and who they want to be around. The greatest way to become a better person is to make sure the way people see you is the way you want people to know you. If you dont want to be known in a bad way you should be doing the things you know are right. There is this girl in my english class who is always answering all the question and she is very nice to everyone in my class. I always wish I could be as friendly as her. Knowing that people are watching me and my actions.
Next, following the crowd is the worse thing you could do. There arent very many people out there that can hold themselves back from following society but you will be so much happier when you do your own thing. Everyday thinking about society you may know that the world is very corrupt. When people are bold enough to do what they want to and not be influence by the hurtful world that is truly when that person is the best they can be. Although you may be with all your friends at a party where there is drinking all you should do is walk out. If you have true friends they will understand your decisions and come with you.
Finally, going past the common hard working person. As a friend to someone who will do everything to their full potential you often want to be just like your friend. Doing more and more to be noticed just like your friend is being noticed way more than you are. From a teachers point of view the greatest thing they can see is a student who turns in all their work complete and done even greater than all the other classmates. Not only will this be a great characteristic but going over and above others will create huge opportunities for jobs and other leadership plans.
Concluding, being a influence towards others is only helping our world and the people in it. Being of the world and not in it can be a good standard to live by making sure you are doing whats right and not what others think is okay.

In-Class Writing: Controversial Paragraph

I feel that students should attend high school. First, not going to high school is having no education. The biggest way of getting through life is the knowledge that you have. High school is the essentail way of gaining that knowledge and can help in many areas. Perfecting the subjects you have a hard time in is during your high school years. Second, doing drugs or getting into trouble is bound to happen because of not going to school. All the free time you will have, to do whatever you want and most likely be up to no good. Finally, it is hard to find work when you dont have skills for that job. Most jobs require a person to have the ability to read and write at a high level. The low quality work of people who dont get a education is disliked by many higherers. Many people dont even know how to work hard when all of there teenage years they were free to do whatever and never had to get things done. Concluding, there are benefits for going to high school and its a bad idea if you dont.

Horrible Date: Narrative writing project 3

I got asked on a date by a very weird young man. His name was Adam. I didnt really know him but I couldnt say no. He told me we were going to the movies, dinner, and carving pumpkins. It sounded pretty fun and I was ready for him when he came. He didnt even tell me that we were going with other people but im so glad we were because it would have been so awkward if it was just me and him. Everything was going fine while we were watching "Real Steel" until after the movie he put his arm around me and I was like "oh no!" After the movie we went ended up going to in and out and it took us all night to find the place. When we got there we hit all of the sides of the drive through and we still couldnt reach our food when we got to the window. We decided to go to a park to eat it and when we finally found the park all of our food was cold and soggy. I will never forget the horrible date I went on with him.

Final Classification Paragraph writing project 2

My history class is filled with all different sorts of people. The main major attitudes are lazy, average, and active. First, the lazy people are the ones who are falling asleep in class and never finish what they are doing. During notes they usually gaze off or end up texting. The teacher will often put them in the front of the class so she can check on them every so often. A second attitude is the average. This is where the person can stay on task for a little while but will forget about what they need to get done and stop doing what should come first. The majority is in this category. When an assignment is due the person will hurry and ask someone if they can copy really quick. The last attitude is being active. Being active is the easiest way to know that your grade will always be an A. Also, this requires always turnimg in your work and staying on task. Soon the teacher will let you do more because you showed her the respect she was looking for. In the end, you are benefiting greatly if you try your hardest to be am active participator in the class discussion.

Corn Maze Girl: In-Class Writing

The corn maze is a fantastic place to go. As I visited this place the other weekend I notice how great it is. One reason many people go there is because its not very scary so little children can go and its pretty exciting for adults to. Some people consider it for a date idea and have lots of fun trying to find the way out. At the very beginning when you are buying your ticket they offer candy and or water to keep you satisfied while going through. The corn husks, long green plants and rough dirt terrain can be a real challenge to travel. Not only that but you can find some slithering creatures and miniscule little bugs living right next to you in the plants. There is a little game you can play where you have to find little check marks before you leave. Also after you have found your way out they have fun activites that go with the maze such as, bumper cars and bouncy houses. Anyone no matter what age will have fun at this corn maze.

The 3 major attitudes in my history class are lazy, average, and active. First, are the lazy people. They usually are sleeping before the teacher even gets to talk and they never do their homework. A lazy person in my class is always sitting at the front so the teacher can wake them up and be really loud so they can stay awake. When it is time to take notes in class they are usually just gazing off instead of keeping up with the rest of the class. A second attitiude is the average attitude of being on task but not to the level they should be. Most people can be put in this category. This person will be doing there work but get distracted every so often and forget they have an assignment due at the end of the class period. When it comes time to turn in the assignment they might want to use someone elses' work and copy really quick. But it wont be bad because they were listening before. The last attitude is being active. This is the easy way to get a good grade in any class. The teacher will end up letting you do more because you show her respect when she wants the class to get things done. In the end, you are benefiting greatly if you try your hardest to be an active participator in the class discussion.
