"Writing Into the Day"

January 16th
"Success is doing the absolute best you can and striving to reach the goals you have set for yourself. You have to stay involved in your work. Whether it is sports, clubs, or any other way to branch out from what you are used to. All of these are examples of ways that to contribute to success in school. When you are more involved in extracurricular activities, it brings a brighter outlook on school. It becomes more fun instead of a chore. For me it was theatre. Theatre was my reason to get up and go to school every day. I built friendships and study groups."

"In relation to English class, when I hear "reflection" I think about looking back over the work and progress you have done in the course. You identify how your writing and views on writing have changed. This is a way to show your growth and have a physical example of your writing process and drafts. English is a subject where you simple cannot solve the problem for a correct answer."

"I believe it is very important for schools to teach students to criticize. Students can follow steps and interpret results all day long when told to, but they rarely are given the chance to find errors. They are never asked if they agree or disagree with the work they are shown. It is simply just told to them what to do and how to do it. The quality of criticism is not one that should be overlooked so easily."
