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.
