Dear Reader Piece

For the semester I hoped that I would achieve a grade of 85 or higher in my classes. In certain classes I did achieve what I had set out to do. There were only minor setbacks in my success do to the underdeveloped time management skills. To be honest I struggled with my online homework that I had to complete for pre-calc. To help solve that problem I created timers and alarms on my cell phone so that it would remind me a couple days before the assignment was due. I still need to work on focusing on the task at hand instead of getting sidetracked. This past semester I took pre-calc and geography. I feel that in geography I did exceptionally well but when it came to pre-calc I feel like I could have done a little bit better. In one year I see myself adapting to my college life. In five years I see myself starting medical school. In ten years I see myself graduating from medical school, hopefully acquiring my PhD. In order to achieve these goals I have to stay focused on the task at hand. As a writer I feel that I am a free spirit. My mind tends to wander off into different places; it doesn’t just focus on one type of style. I feel that for me as a writer writing may help me in my success in life because I use writing as a way to heal. It may help me get over the things that are holding me back from focusing on a certain task and then that would enable me complete it. I learned that fiction writing is not great the first time that it is drafted; it is not published as soon as it is written. I learned that fiction starts from a shitty first draft and from there is molded into this art called a writing piece. I also learned that fiction writing is made up of a lot of components it is not just the books we read but a lot more than I had expected it to be. Over the semester we got to work on various journals and free writes. Out the things that we had to complete I would have to say that I enjoyed writing the memoir vs. fiction journal because it helped me completely get out all the emotions that I felt towards the death of my best friend. I also enjoyed writing the two lies and one truth journal. That journal gave me a chance to let my mind wander and come up with the best lies that I possibly could come up with. It also let me get out some feelings I had towards my sister being raped. I feel that credibility has become a very strong point in fiction writing. I think that the universal paradox is a concept that is difficult because the definition alone is difficult to understand. By the end of the year I would have hoped to grasp a full understanding about what fiction writing truly is. I want to know all the components and I want to know how to execute each term with out problems. I would hope to accomplish adapting to what college will be like, after learning and experiencing different things in this pre- college program. As a person I feel that this portfolio represents me in so many ways. It secretly tells a story about me, by analyzing the way I write you can see that at times it ca be crazy but at times it is well put together. You can also see that my writing does not hold any tongues when it has to discuss any topic. My writing is my escape and that is why it invokes a certain type of emotion or it is credible to the reader. My writing is true even though fiction is not always true it is based off of real events in my life.
