Reflection

Over the course of middle school I have grown greatly as a writer. When I went to my first class Language Arts class in seventh grade with Mr. Graf, I didn't even know how to write a five paragraph essay. After seventh grade I was writing proficient and advanced persuasive essays, reflective essays and creative pieces that were reaching lengths of 3 to 4 pages. Over the summer before eighth grade, I managed to loose most of my writing skills due to my lack of motivation to write while school wasn't in session. When school began again I was lost; it all seemed familiar yet all seemed so different. It took me the first few months of school to get the quality of my writing back up, then I was fine the rest of the year.
