I Want to Be My Best

It doesn't take much to know that I want to become an excellent writer. I want to find my circle and become the best I can be. I know it'll take a lot of time an effort, but I'm willing to work at it. All I have to do is stay determined and focused on my goals.

At the end of Junior year, we had to start signing up for the classes we wanted to take in 12th grade. Being someone who loves to take English courses, I signed up for almost everything I could. Most of my school schedule for this year is filled with English classes. I'll pretty much be living on the second floor of the school. The reason why I want to take all the classes is because I want to see which ones I perform best in.

Writing has been a passion of mine since 6th grade. I started off with poems. I found them to be easy, yet expressive. If I were to look at the poems I wrote over six years ago, I probably would have cringed. Overtime, I started working on short stories. I found them to be both more entertaining and challenging than my poems. Still, if I were to look at my oldest work, I would be even more horrified.

Nowadays, I try to take classes like AP Comp. to become the best I can be. My goal is never to be the best in the class, mainly because some of the students in this class are so talented I become insecure. But don't worry, I'm not looking for pity or support.

One thing I'm confident in saying is that I am getting better: both as a writer and a learner. Don't get me wrong, though, I still have a ways to go.

  1. That was a very honest post.

    I like your writing in this. I can definitely relate with the dream of becoming an excellent writer. It's an awesome goal.

    Also, a shameless plug: you should try NaNoWriMo.org. It's great for writers. Check out the website this month or my blog for more info.
