Room to Improve

English II so far has been successful thus far. I think that I have been successful in several aspects but there is still room for me to improve. Similar to English I, I continue to make an effort to contribute to class discussions, even if my thoughts are not well-articulated. Also, this year I have improved in analyzing text. Last year, when I analyzed text, I usually only looked at the literal meaning. This year, I have looked beyond the literal meaning of the text and I have started to further analyze the deeper meaning. Lastly, I think I have performed well on quizzes because I am almost always prepared for class. With all this said, there is a lot for me to improve upon. This year, I hope to improve my writing skills but specifically my thesis writing skills. Writing theses is something that I struggle with because when writing an essay, I start with one thesis and I tend to stray away from my original thesis which forces me to write an entirely new thesis which better fits my evidence. I am hopeful that I will improve my writing this year!
