One of the strengths that I have is that I’m a fast reader, I can usually finish a book (if I was interested in the book) in a  few days. I also have a reading habit already so that’s good. My weaknesses are writing creatively and finishing a book that I don’t find interesting. If the book I’m reading is “boring” (in my opinion), I usually just stop reading and find another book, which is something that I’m working on.

My goals for English 9 are to improve my 1).creative writing skills and 2).read more non-fiction (even when I don’t enjoy it) because sometimes reading is not only for pleasure.  To help me with achieving my goals, I will force myself to finish the books I find boring and try to write more.  Although it is tempting to only read books that interest me, it’s important to find balance in the books you read. Therefore, I will try my best to read a variety of different books.

A great resource I have is the school library. I will definitely be borrowing books from there this year. Some obstacles I have are after-school classes/sports and my phone. I definitely get distracted by my phone sometimes so that might be a problem. However, I will try my best to have good time management.
