Well, as I consider myself to be a strong reader, I find not only in my school work but in my heart,that I am a better writer .I feel as if my writing has evolved while I traveled through the experience of 8th grade. At the beginning of this long and interesting year,the "writer's block" that I had faced was challenging,and, quite boring actually. What I was desperate for was to free my thoughts from the prison inside my head."How can I do this?" was the question I always seemed to ask myself, when I got stuck in the midst of a brainstorm. When I began to doubt myself as a writer was when I realized it was about time I let everyone around me,in on how strong my creativeness is,and how intelligent I could be. To move beyond my "writer's block" I started writing without thinking. My question to myself (with the help of Locker) became "why am I making this more difficult than it needs to be?". When I finally re leaved Chrissy Mendez of the urge to be perfect,my writing became more influential. The writing that I once called bland and boring,transformed into one big ball of facts,personality,and most of all the ability to make you think,and make you say "WOW". No I don't believe my writing is the best and doesn't need work,because the more I work on my writing the more interesting it gets. (By the way,it's still very good! Lol) In order to for me to feel really confident with my writing I had to work on it all year. I took positive criticism from teachers and peers. (which was also a challenge cause I don't like criticism..lol) Two classes that I would say that are special to

me and that I used to my advantage is Communication Arts and Humanities. I feel this because in Communication arts we are/have been working on poetry,and when I am writing poetry I push myself out of my comfort zone and put everything out on the paper. (By the way RECYCLE!=])I use vocabulary that makes my words stand out and mean more. The poetry that I work hard on also teaches me to break free from boringness and helps me to have more of a voice. I also feel humanities helped me with my writing skills because I was learning how to responed to texts/historical texts,like the DBQ! (Man was that challenging)But as I developed and progressed I started to put my opinion , and basically myself into each respons

e. The more I tried to make my writing have more of a voice the more my writing seem to make sense. People were also starting to think of me differently. They started to think of me not as the the "young immature Chrissy" but as the "intelligent Chrissy with much maturity". This was the result of me growing as a writer and as a person. I don't really face any challenges with my writing at the moment,but I know that I will later on and that I will do my best to over-come...
