Goals For My Writing

-

I’m actually very genuinely excited to be a part of this class. My main goal, or what I most want to accomplish within this class is confidence in my writing! I know I’m not a terrible writer but I tend to hesitate in my writing, I want to establish a flow and style in my writing so when I look at it I’m confident that my writing is meeting the standards it’s being held to and graded at. One skill I really hope to build on is the pre-writing stage. I want to have my ideas really collected and thought through so that when I begin to write I can flow through and more easily put my words together because I’ll know exactly what I want to put on the paper! I also hope to build a relationship with writing that's enthusiastic and positive. I love that my teacher has a passion for this subject and I hope to be able to gain some passion for writing and have it show through my work!

In-text citations

-
When should you use in-text citations? A good rule of thumb to go by is to cite anything that another person said, or ideas from another persons work. For example, if you were to read another persons work and felt what they wrote represents or supports the idea you are trying to get across in your own work, feel free to use what the author write but you must cite it. If you like what another person has to say but not the way they said it you could paraphrase their words and cite that too.

Kindness

I have seen many acts of kindness so to choose the best one is hard however, i can think of the best act of kindness i have seen recently. The other day my mom, my sister and I went to Walmart. On the way out of the store back to the car my mom went to put the cart away and she found a wallet somebody left in a cart. She immediately brought it into the store to the customer service area. On the way back in she looked in it to see whose it was and along with the owners ID she saw debit cards, credit cards, and a couple of hundred dollar bills inside, there was also a case of ear pods attached to the wallet. I personally would have went ahead and took at least a hundred dollar bill and maybe the ear pods but my mom was very kind to bring the wallet into the store without taking anything.

I Belive in...

When I think of my grandmother I think of hard work. She came to America from Jamaica with very little and four children to take care of. From there she worked excruciatingly long hours enduring terrible treatment to provide for and create a better life for her kids. Today she owns her own business, a nursing home, that is very successful and has been going strong since before I was even born. Some of her patients have been there for as long as I’ve known her even. For years on end she wakes up everyday to care for her patients and herself, she never even complains. As time has went on she’s accumulated more patients with varying needs and the patients she’s had there for the past almost two decades are needing more and more of her help to take care of them. She continues to get up and feed them, bathe them, and even help them use the restroom everyday and that hard work she’s doing inspires me to work as hard as her everyday.
