My Life As a Writer

when I in fifth grade my writing wasn't nearly as good as now and I also, was still learning English so that was difficult but, still I tried to do my best when writing even though I didn't understand a thing about it. I remember that when my mom went to talk to my teacher in fifth grade, he told my mom that I was writing in Spanish/English that means I put some words in English and the one's that I didn't know put them in Spanish I was so embarrassed but, When last year my teacher from English that I was good at writing I was impressed of myself because I didn't believe it since then I believe that I had improved my writing skills as well for my English had improved and I know that all the people that help me at speaking, and improving my writing would be really proud of me and themselves to.
My Writing Life

            I have been really good writer since I was in first grade. When I was about 8 or 9 years old I would always write small stories. I usually write about anything that goes on In my life. I like writing about humorous events in my life.  In elementary school, I was always on the higher level reading. It helps to be a good reader when it comes writing. When I was younger I didn't like writing that much. I thought that writing was boring and a waste of time. The older I got the more I started to enjoy it. When I got to intermediate school I decided to try the honors program. Language Arts is the subject I'm most skilled at. Writing is a great to express yourself through words.

My Writing life

I have never been that much of a writer when I was little,  but the more I started to write the more I enjoyed it. I started writing a lot was  when I got into last year's honors Language Arts. That was when I started to like writing.  Ever since I got into that honors program that was when I started to like writing because I did it so much. That was when my writing life began. My favorite thing to write about is fantasy or mystery because I can use my imagination to write an amazing story. Now that I am in this years honors program for Language Arts I can write a lot and I am enjoying it. That is my writing life and how I started to like writing.

My Writing Life

My Writing Life

 What's my writing life? Well, when I was in first grade I was one of the lowest of the
 class. I didn't know how to even read. Mostly everyone in the class was already reading small chapter books at that time.Which made me feel bad about myself. The next year, I was still in the same level as the year before that. Then, third grade comes into my life. It was a much better year for me. I was in the second grade level. Not that great but, it was better than other years.

 At the beginning of the forth grade, I was in the third grade level. I tried my 
hardest that year and ended up in the level I was supposed to. I was very happy about my self. Then the next year, I was in the highest level of reading and writing of fifth grade. Which was probably one of the best years of my elementary. 
     
In sixth grade I started to read less, which of course lead me to stay at the same
 level as the year before that. I always had an NP on my grade. I really didn't try to do my homework at all. My teacher (Mrs. Finklea) told everyone in the classroom about Honors LA. As soon as she told the class I got very excited. I wanted to join as soon as possible. All summer I was waiting for my schedule to get on powerschool. I saw that I got into Honors LA and got very excited. In till this point I am not on the highest but, also not the lowest  level of writing. Now I love to write and happy to be on this point of writing. That is my writing life and I hope you liked it.


My Life As A Writer

My Life As A Writer

             I have always had a love hate relationship with writing. The first time I really began to realize I had the best tool ever was in first grade. I was very fortunate to get one of the best teachers, Mrs. Henry. Our class was assigned to write a three-paragraph essay regarding the steps on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The most exhilarating part was when she read our essays and did the exact steps of our essays. I was very close to making an actual sandwich. That was the one thing that really motivated me. I was very eager to become a better writer.

             I'm not going to lie, I have never been the brightest student when it comes to language arts. I myself have grown into a better writer day by day. I always struggled with the Sage test in language arts. I started to genuinely improve around fourth and fifth grade. Being in the dual immersion program was a big advantage for me. I learned to write in English and Spanish. Throughout elementary school I learned multiple ways to write essays. The one that benefited me the most was taught by Teryn Olsen. I use that every day.
           
             My style of writing is very complex. I have a passion for creative writing. I enjoy to just sit down and write. I come up with ideas on the spot and I write them down. One thing that I have written is a biography. I did the project in fifth grade. I enjoyed it very much. I wrote my biography about Blake Lively. I received 100 percent. That was one of my favorite essays/projects. I use adjectives as if they are a car. I use them every time I write. I am one of those people who doesn't like to use words that are mainstream. I love to increase my vocabulary. When I write I repeat what I'm writing. So while you are reading this I want you to imagine myself, doing this in a computer lab talking out loud and making a fool of myself.

             I write because it makes cheerful. I get this indescribable sense of joy when I write. Writing is something that I can really express my feelings and thoughts. Its similar to a getaway, a vacation. Its my soft spot. I could write more and more but I think its time to conclude. I love to write. Its my passion and I can't wait to continue it with Mrs. Robins.

                   

My Writing Life

To start off, I generally don't really write much. But when I do I love to free write! I like to write all kinds different genres and it can be really fun to me! My favorite would be fantasy. It probably started in about 4th to 5th grade. I started learning how to write paragraphs and how to indent and all. But when we were given a specific thing to write about, such as an informational topic, I would lose interest and space off a lot. It's easier for me to focus on writing when I'm interested in it. And then in 6th grade I learned a lot more about writing, for example, the ACES paragraphs,and the OREO paragraphs. I was able to do free writing during school every once in a while, but even then I didn't usually get to finish my stories. In conclusion, I like to make up my own stories and like writing!
     I've always loved writing. Writing has been a fun experience for me over the years. Ever since I was in Kindergarten I would always write whenever I got the chance. I remember in second grade I wrote a book about me going to Mars. When I was finished writing , I showed it to my teacher and asked her if I could read it to my class and she said that she liked it and said that I could present it to everyone. Ever since then I kept writing stories about people and I especially loved writing sci-fi stories. I also loved to write experiences about my life and share it with other people such as my friends. Last year I had a journal that I wrote in ( almost ) everyday. It was about my life as a sixth grader. I am so lucky to have Mrs. Robins as a LA teacher and hope that she can help me become a better writer, and that Is my writing life.
