DEAR MS. FIGUEROA,

Coming into the year, there were things that I knew how to do, but I had to progress so I

could advance my writing skills. At first, I was using a lot of contractions and I used

second person as well. I had a hard time at first with my essays because I never used the

outline worksheet given to me, but I feel like if I used them at first, I would’ve done better

in the beginning. Overtime I got use to what I needed, so I did not need to use it towards

the end. My language and vocabulary was not as good in the beginning as well. I would

use simple words and dead words and those were not necessary. My conventions was not

good at the beginning, but continuing into 2nd semester, I gotten better with punctuation,

capitalizing and spelling.

I have learned many things from this class. I learned how to stop using contractions,

organize my quotes, how to use ACE and most importantly, how to cite my quotes the

correct way. You have helped me with how to transition properly into the next paragraph

and the proper words to smoothly begin the paragraph. You have also helped me with

setting my goals so that I can reflect on them and accomplish them by the end of the

semester. The reflections that you have given us helped me see why I wrote the essay and

just reflect on what I believe I did right or what I need to approve on.
Through all the ups and downs of writing my essays, I have accomplished a lot and I

believe it will help me in the future. Some of my strengths in writing is that I elaborate

with my evidence. I like to explain more into the quote so that I can get my point across.

Another strength would be I focus on the main theme of the essay. I do not go off topic

and I do not add anything that does not need to be included. Through all the essays from

the beginning, I believe that I am getting better and I am most proud of my recent essays

because they showcase my improvements.

Throughout the entire portfolio, I believe that I did pretty well. I have all the needed

essays from my extended end of unit of Macbeth’s theme of society to five others essays

from past classes. With the help of my teacher and fellow classmates, I can revise my

essays to make it the way it should be formatted. Most of the essays that are included in

my portfolio are social issues.

In the future, does not matter what field of work I go into, the writing accomplishments I

have attained will help me. I hope in majoring in sociology in community college, so these

writing skills will improve the way I write and will help me go far in college and the field

I pursue in. My writing goals when I leave high school is to make sure I stay on topic,

especially going into a more advance environment. I hope to make sure I do my works

cited and cite my quotes the right way.

Sincerely,

Hannah Joy Cruz
