My English Goals

This year for english i have two main goals in mind.  The first is to work on better development of term papers and essays.  Most of my english and class papers in high school were average at best.  I usually put off papers to the last minute and that may be the cause for underdeveloped papers.  I know that in college things are different and being just average will not cut it.  

My second goal is to work on reading comprehension.  I want to be able to understand everything that I read this year and to interpret it into my own words.  I would like to start this by fully understanding A Long Way Gone.   By fully comprehending everything i read it will help to improve papers if we were to write them in class and will overall help me in most things that we'll do in class.

I believe that this year i can accomplish both these goals through hard work and taking the time to develop and understand everything I do in class this year.  It's going to be a fun year  and hopefully everything goes smooth.
