Letter to Parents.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am no longer a freshman and I am a sophomore. Growing older means new things, meaning I should know more. As a writer, I think I have greatly improved. I remember as a freshman, I would get 3's on my essays, even some of my final papers. I struggled through last year and would have a hard time. But I feel like I have improved greatly this year. I have a much easier time in english class and writing ideas come easily to me. My papers now get 3/4s, sometimes even 4's. This year, I have wrote about topics in which I feel I can truly connect to. My two past papers are about our family. The first was about the "Coming of Age". I chose to write about our trip to Vietnam in which I was old enough to see the struggles and realize the love and hard work you two do to support our family. The second essay was for my college application. I wrote about our family and how it has shaped me as a person. Your perseverance, love, and dedication has made me the person that I am. Overall, I believe I have truly improved as a writer.
My goals for the quarter is to simply continue to improve and learn. I want to work on my sentence structure, so I could write with variety. Also with my voice, I want my papers to sound like ME. That's about it.
