My strengths are communicating and listening to others, reading, and (creative) writing.  My weaknesses are public speaking, and writing essays on sophisticated subjects. Therefore, my goals for the year are improving my analytic essay-writing skills, research skills, speaking skills, and increasing my vocabulary. The resources that are available to me to help achieve my goals are English projects, help from teachers and peers, books, and myself (by practicing writing by myself). I think the only two obstacles I might face are not having enough time to achieve these goals, and online learning . To manage these problems, I might get time on the weekends to improve my skills, and for online learning I will just deal with computer problems to make the learning experience better.
