Freshman year:
I walk down the hall
I trip and fall
they laugh and point at me
why can't they just let me be?
Sophomore year:
I walk in the bathroom
same old routine
they dunk my head
then kick my spleen
Junior year:
I walk to my car
it’s not that far
I see the writing
“Just stop trying”
I start crying
Senior year:
I walk up the steps
I look around
They look down
I’m in my cap and gown
Finally able to leave this mean, little town
I walk down the hall
I trip and fall
they laugh and point at me
why can't they just let me be?

Scarlet Ibis Essay
I received a 2 for this essay. The reason was because I used past tense a lot and I need to work on embedding quotes.
One goal I have for writing is to work on my present tense, because in my writing instead of using present tense I always accidently used past tense. Another I need to work on is embedding quotes, I need a lot of work with that.

What I've Learned
I have learned a lot about writing. Mostly Writing Essay's. I have learned how to embed quotes better and how to make everything flow. I also learned how to stop using past tense and use present tense instead. Those are also things I've improved on. In my past essay I would use past tense a lot, so I wrote my paragraph and then I would go back and correct things that were said in the past tense and edited them to make them present tense. I would also struggle a lot in making things flow. And that is still something I need to work on. Some goals for next year that I have are I want to learn how to improve my vocabulary. The reason being is because I use a lot of simple words and I feel that my Writing can improve a great deal if I also improve my vocabulary.
I don't have my second essay, so to show you how I improved I have put pictures of my grades.
