520 Words3 Pages

Satisfied with my work, I did the finishing touches on my portfolio and soon after realized my last writing assignment of high school is tomorrow.

I believe the reason it improved so much is because I time managed way more than have in previous years; in fact, most essays I had to write were written the night before they were do and I would just meet the length requirement without revising or editing.

Just adding a few steps to my writing has made my essays sound more intelligent and trustworthy. However, I still need improvement on generalization, because I am a passionate writer and when I start talking about something I am passionate about, I state my opinions as
