How do you think you did in English First Peoples this year?  

I feel I did better than last year. I cared more about this class, not because academic grades were going to matter for university, but because I understood getting better at writing and presenting information is very important for life in general. 

I am upset of my tardiness, coming late to class almost every day, but I am very well disciplined to be handing work done at the end of the day no matter what. 

I made new friends, and I really enjoyed English this year.  

What are some of your strengths in English? 

I’m proud to say that I think public speaking is one of my best strengths. I honestly like taking the opportunity to talk up on a stage, especially when you are confident in what you are doing and saying. I always try to present my self on the social media page, so I feel it connects to that. 

My second-best strength must be presenting information through my writing. Writing this essay with a completely different topic presented to us really challenged my ability to convey my ideas clearly. But I continued to improve at writing essays, and I believe it’s one of my strongest. 

What are some of your stretches in English? 

Getting to class on time would be a stretch, although I’m sure it’s just a first block issue. However, outside of physical abilities, I want to continue to improve at academic writing. I also want to improve on persuasive, witty and comedic writing. Improving on those types of writing would really help me improve as a content creator on social media. 

I also need to stay focused in class and be more motivated to get work done. 

What goals do you have for improving your English skills in the future? 

My goal is to continue writing outside of class, and improving at persuasive writing for social media. I like writing scripts for video essays, and I want to make them feel more persuasive, unique and entertaining to listen to and I feel as making more videos would help me improve my writing skills in the future.
