Visual Representations
I procrastinate every single time I have something to do, especially with school assignments. Rarely do I ever start things early. I am fully aware of the assignment I have to complete and when it's due, however, I just always get distracted and leave everything to do at the last minute. I once realized how serious my problem was when I had to stay up all night to finish an assignment due the next morning. I realized that I needed my sleep and that I should get things done sooner. I still procrastinate, Its just not as bad as it was before. I give myself enough time so I can get some sleep.

I am very subconscious of my writing. I don't like it when others read my stuff. I have this fear that they will tell me its horrible and that I am just a terrible writer. I especially hate it when teachers or adults read my writing since they know all the rules in the English language. When somebody edits my paper, I get really sensitive when there are red marks covering my essay. However, I have come to realize that criticism can be good. Everyone makes mistakes, and not every piece of writing will be perfect. Criticism is just a way to help me improve as a writer.

I'm no good when it comes to organization. Every new semester I try to be organized but I always end up failing at it. I buy new binders, tabs, folders, planners. I can be organized for about a month and then I just give up. I just put my papers in my book bag. The good thing is that I never loose any of my work. However, it takes forever to find what i'm looking for. There is much extra time you have to put into trying to keep thinks in order. I should really work on trying to be more organized.

Definition Essay
This essay was fun to write. I had to actually brainstorm, something that I don't do often, to form a solid definition for a southerner. To me, there are many things that would describe a southerner. I thought it would be an easy essay to write since I live in the south and have been since I was born. However, it was just as difficult as any other essay I had to write.

3 Ways to Speak English
|
I thought our snow day make up assignment was very interesting. Jamila Lyiscott's speech made me realize that it's amazing to be bilingual. Her three languages help her express herself and she is not ashamed of that. It made me realize that I too should be confident of being able to speak two languages.

Books Are My Drug
After turning in my narrative essay, I remembered I had written an essay similar to it for my high school English class. The only difference was that I went into detail as to why I loved reading books rather than talking about the person who taught me how to read. I was really content with this essay and consider it one of my best works. Enjoy.
