Writing Goals!

Writing Goals:

1. I am proud of the fact that I have written and completed this essay! Although it seems like a small accomplishment, for me, writing an essay is no easy task! I am also proud of the fact that I was able to find a topic I was passionate about, and could easily write about. The first time around I had made the decision to write it about cutting my hair (not just any haircut, but 15", and was going to relate it to change). After some thorough revision of my topic, I realized I should write it about something that had a much bigger impact on my person and my character. Just as writing an essay, I find choosing the topic to be an incredibly hard task. Although these two may seem to be the easiest, they are the most determinant in the entire process -- especially the topic which gives the entire essence of the piece.

2. What am I weaker in? I would have to say I am weaker in the fact that I struggle in forming the introduction and conclusion of my essay, the two outsides to my sandwich. Inside, I more easily fill the space, with the meat, vegetables and rest of the ingredients - however the two pieces that keep the entire structure together are so much more powerful and important that I struggle in writing them, and making sure they maintain their importance in the writing piece.

3. I hope to learn how to successfully name an essay, any piece of writing. Although I make sure I write the essay before I title it, I am still unsure of how exactly we're supposed to name these things! Of course I can give the standard, "Why You Should Only Eat Ketchup" titles, but I am rather lacking in creating catchy, mysterious and creative titles!
