Dear Reader,

As you’ll discover while viewing my digital portfolio, my writing has definitely improved since elementary school. Not only am I better with spelling and grammar, I’ve gotten better at developing and organizing my ideas. It used to take me a long time to write essays because I’d get off

topic, but after having so many timed writings in AP English 11 and 12, keeping my ideas on topic and organized comes a lot more naturally to me. I’m happy with what my writing has become.
