When I was reading the posts from past 7th graders, I found that the top three things didn't surprise me at all. First, DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!! Yeah, I found a couple that actually looked like that. This year I probably will procrastinate if I don't think about it, but I will try hard to get work in before the day things are due. Most of the 7th graders were serious about not procrastinating, things like:
"Procrastinating in Mrs. Robins' class will ruin your life forever!!" or something like that, so I will
always keep track of what I am working on throughout this school year. Another popular theme I found was to always read. Most of the time I am an avid reader already, so I will have hardly any trouble with this. Learning that so many people are telling me to always read has made me think: "I'll read way more this year! (I probably will read way more than usual because of the I Read program)" Last, Have lots of fun! All of the 7th graders from last year say just to "have fun and ease up a little, because this class is amazing!" or whatever they said. This class sounds amazing already, so I'm excited!
My story as a writer started mainly in 2nd grade, because that was when we really started to write, and not just 3 to 4 word sentences: I have a dog. its name is woof. My 2nd grade teacher encouraged me to write a story in a little notebook when I was done with my math sheets. I didn't think writing was amazing until 4th grade when my best friend started writing a book series, and I wanted to write a book too, so I started to write a book called Storm of the North, which I still have bookmarked so that occasionally I could write it during advisory or something like that. I love to read, and I like to make up fantasy stories about heroines who use their powers for the good of all people and most of the time, they sound like a more normal version of myself. I am not half as good as my friend (which she does not admit to), but I love to read and write fiction books.
Yeah, your right, don't procrastinate, for it can help a lot.
ReplyDeleteI loved your opening! It was definalty creative, and a fun way to start your essay! One thing i'd watch out for is repeating the same word a couple of times. Overall, I really enjoyed reading your essay!
ReplyDeleteYour right Kyla a lot of last years honors class repeatedly said don't procrastinate.
ReplyDeleteI loved how you made it funny with the comments from the 7th graders about not procrastinating and having fun.
ReplyDelete"Storm of the North" is an exciting title!
ReplyDeleteI think I could read that one for a while.
Can't wait to see how you grow this year,
Don't procrastinate, do your best: have no fear!
