My First Semester Of Senior Year - 800 Words

When going into my second semester of senior year knowing I had enrolled to take Freshman Composition, I was nervous. However, despite all the negative feedback I had received, I challenged myself to do my best and try my hardest to never give up or slack off.

We are all creatures of habit, and straying away from those old habits are complicated. Freshman Composition was for sure a needed experience and I am happy I got to experience in a high school environment. From learning how to find better replacements for dead words to learning the correct way to cite something and the correct way to research something, allowed me to improve my writing technique. I never enjoyed writing, and honestly I still struggle with it; yet, when writing about something I have a strong opinion on, I enjoy writing. Most importantly I have learned how to express my feelings and beliefs through my writings, and that is very important because it makes your writing more interesting.
