Dear Younger Me,

Dear Younger Me,

School isn't that hard right now, but don't think it stays that way. You will have to work hard and stay focused. Balance your social life and your school work. Don't get too caught up in all the drama and lose sight of whats most important in the long run.
The friends you make once you switch schools will be your best friends for the next 6 years. You will fight with mom constantly and argue about everything, but she is the one person who will always have your back in the bad and good times. Good luck girl (:

The Writing Center

About 2 weeks ago I went to the writing center for some help on my literary analysis. When I signed up I was kind of nervous because I didn't know how they would react to my paper. I had Mrs. Spaht  help me edit my paper. She was super nice and really helpful. She read through my paper and really listened to what I was saying. She took notes of errors and things that I needed to change organization wise. Then she helped me think of how to make it better which I thought was really useful, because that helped me to think on my own instead of telling me how to write it.

I only went to the writing center once this semester. I wish I would have gone more because it really did help me. I liked it a lot because they didn't critique or grade my paper, only gave me pointers on how to make it better. Next semester I will makes sure to go more than once!
