Writing Skills

Over the course of this week I have discovered many flaws in my writing. Many of these flaws has been my writing mechanics. Writing  Mechanics are capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. I think I struggle with this the most because of the speed of my writing. I often write at a high speed in which I fail to realize I have made the most simple mistakes. My action plan to fix this problem will be composed of three steps. The first step is to slow down my writing speed. When I slow things down I tend to recognize more. The second step will be to proofread my writing to check for writing mistakes. Most of the time when I proofread I usually recognize mistakes that I have made. Lastly, my final step will be peer editing. When I usually don't see mistakes in my writing my classmates do. Once I have completed my steps I trust my paper will be free of mechanic issues.

Hello my name is Katore James. I am currently in the 11th grade at B.C Rain high school. This school year I will be in Mr. Rease's AP English class. I pride myself on leadership and hardwork. I don't believe in handouts and overall I believe if you work hard for something you will enjoy it more than something that is given to you. I was awarded the MCPSS "It starts with me" middle school student of the year award for my public service and hardwork in the classroom. I had also served as student council president and FBLA vice president for Davidson High School.  I currently play football for B.C. Rain High School where I serve as one of the team captains. My positions on the football team include nose guard, Left Guard, and Center. Other hobbies I enjoy doing are hunting , fishing, and racing  four wheelers. Last school year I made the Honor Roll every quater and I look forward to doing the same this school year. My short term goals are to graduate with a 4.0 GPA or higher, make 3 or better on the AP exam, and to get a scholarship to Auburn University. I plan to major in Business Administration, and minor in political science. I look forward to working with my classmates this semester in AP English to accomplish my goals and to help them accomplish their goals.
