**Letter**

 * Dear Ms.justice,**
 * In my portfolio, you will see how i feel what i do good in when it comes to writing and what i need to improve in with my writing,so i hope you enjoy well i rather hope you see where my improvements are needed at and my wells are at as well.**

I feel that I am in the middle when it comes down to be being a writer. I feel that way cause being a good writer I feel that a good writer stays on the topic,focus and everything. I say that I’m in the middle cause at times I stay on topic and focus,and I don’t do that all I may feel myself drifting off of the topic. I feel that I do well in wring on some things (subjects). I do well in writing wen we learning or writing bout something that I know or what I have already experience once before. Don't get me wrong im not saying that I don't like learning new things cause I do. I feel that I do well wen it comes to writing bout a topic that I have experience or something that I feel that I can write bout n stay on that topic. Just like at the beginning of the year she asked “do you (I) consider myself a good writer” I responded to that as I consider myself a good writer and n that I do well at somethings in specialty. I feel I do well in writing cause at times I follow the writing steps prewriting, drafting,editing,and revising. So you ask what I do well in writing about this are some of the things I do well in writing. I feel that I need improvements in a lot of things on my writing. I know I need to improve on my skills on staying on topic and focus on what I’m writing. When it comes down to writing in spelling that’s something I need to work on cause wit me I try my best to make words shorter then what they are. I know I need to improve my transition from one idea to another idea. I know its a lot of improvements in need to improve in my writing so that's why I'm working on them improvements everyday that I write in English class. This letter will serve as a guide throughout the rest of my folio and will be a reminder to me of my skills upon what I need to improve on in writing as my time in writing processes in high school and in college.

__ keeping the faith __
keeping the faith (refering to Night) I reflect to Night in “keeping the faith”. I choose keeping the faith cause I feel that it reflects on me. I say that cause somethings that I choose to give up on (school) and a lot of other things. I choose to give u on these things cause I feel that I cant do it anymore, but then something hit me and I realize that I have to keep the faith that I will make it and that I need to keep the faith that I will make it no matter what happens in school or outside of school. What I learned bout night is that you should never give up no matter what happens or how hard something gets you should never give up. Reflecting to night: In the book __Night__ the part at the camp when the man came to find Wiesel from sighet to ask him about his family (wife). His wife had got deported on the first round of people in 1942. that reflects to me cause doing hurricane in new Orleans some of my family got lost during that time. We never seen or heard from them since then, but we still keep the faith in believing that they are still alive and doing good. In the book when the man came to the camp to see Mr. Wiesel and ask him bout his wife n to see if he knew how she was doing but before then I felt he was keeping his faith that his wife was still alive and doing good even though she got separated during the first deport.

__ RESPECT ESSAY __
whats your essay's belief? How do you know? (respect yourself) showing or having respect cause in the essay it talks bout having respect and respecting yourself. Whats the tone of your essay? How do you know? Tone is like a concern parent that is willing to teach his or her child bout respect and what it mean. Comment on the length of your essay. Too long or short? Why do you think this? I don’t think its too long or too short, its just right because of the topic of the essay and I know from a personal point of view that when talking bout respect or showing respect it's never to much you can say or it's never to less you can say bout it. General impressions? Like/dislike? Why? Like because its touching cause I understand what he/she is saying bout how to show respect for yourself and for others. Its a very nice essay it shows that this parent is willing to teach and show there child bout respect.
