~This collection of my work as a 9th grade english student demonstrates the journey that I have taken to get from the beginning of the year, to the end. This collection includes assignments that I felt came quite easy, and others that were found to be very challenging. From this collection of my work, I would like viewers to get an inside look at how I operate as a person. I would like viewers to see that at times when it may seem like I have it all together I really do not. Every single piece in this collection comes with a before and after story. Each one of the pieces in this collection has in some way, shape, or form has changed me for the better. From each piece in this collection I have learned something about myself, that can only help better me as a person and a student.

~I feel that by far English is my best and favorite class. It always has been. I find the English language to be a never ending challenge, and it is for that reason that I find English to be the most fascinating subject to study. My biggest weakness in English spelling. Spelling has been an a issue for as long as I can remember. The only solution to this problem that I can think of is to continue expanding my vocabulary, using the the phonetic strategies that I learned earlier in m educational career, and using the English mnemonics I learned as a child.

~In the creation of this portfolio, I had some trouble deciding what, if any extra elements I should add. I came to the conclusion that some pieces are important in painting the full picture of the student I am. I also had some trouble editing one of essays. This particular essay was difficult when it was first composed, and was difficult to revise. To overcome this speed bump I had to just keep going. There was no getting around this essay. I just had to go out and do it.

~ I am most proud of my Odyssey Essay and Macbeth Creative piece. The Odyssey Essay was the first English benchmark of the year and I put a tremendous amount of effort into the project. As a result of my effort I received a very high grade on that particular project. That grade became the standard I tried to work towards for all other English projects. The Macbeth Creative piece was both a monologue and a poster. The poster I am not so proud of, but the performed monologue I feel demonstrated who I really am. I love public speaking and solo performances. In this project I was able to demonstrate who I was as a student. When performing the monologue, I truly felt thst i was embracing my true self.
