I write about and explain how events happen. I will always stay on topic but I think I need to use more descriptive and words that draw people attention. Also I need to work on not using so many articles and I need to stick to the effects on what I write about give more details and extend my vocabulary. I want to mix up how I talk about things be more creative and dramatic. Most of my writing I need to start organizing in steady of having things all over the place like when I wrote about the writing prompt school uniforms I stayed on topic but had my effects all over the place. When I am writing I brainstorm and think about what I am about to write I clear my mind and then think about details I already know about the prompt it like if the teacher told me to write about my life I wouldn’t have to brainstorm because it's my life and I say to myself who knows my life better than me and then I start from my childhood to teen hood then to adulthood. So the main thing I am good at is brainstorming and using enter motions in stories so I can make the reader relate to what is happening in the story and them to have a emotion to an relate to the character of some type and the attitude he or she caries. I need to improve on my grammar and spell check because some time I be placing words in the wrong place. Most of the time I like to abbreviate words and not spell them out I also use a lot of onomatopoeia which I can't use because its not proper terms of writing but I need to use them in a prospective that the teacher can understand how and use them and do I have the correct definition of the term. I also need to expand my writing and writer bigger and not so small that the teacher cant see what I am writing then again also staying on topic and not writing briefly and adding more details to my writing. In the future I plan on writing with more descriptive and educated work like just say what comes to mind and make sure my punctuation are in place. I will try to just stick with one reason on what I'm writing about and give more details and draw attention to the audience and making sure that the reader get a good understanding and feel of my story.

All About Me
My name is Tomisha Bre'Yonna Davis. I was born December 27 th, 1995. My family consist of my six sisters Victoria who is 24, Amber 21, Chelsea 18, Tichina 17, Tonyetta 15 and my younger sister Whitney who turns 10 soon. I also have two older brothers Benjamin 25, and Thomas 18. I have three nephews and one niece. I'm in my sophomore year at New Bern High School. In my free time I like to play basketball and run, basketball is like my stress reliever. I listen to all types of music, but I would have to say my favorite music is R&B.I like R&B because some of it is soothing and then other songs will get you pumped up in a heart beat. Upon graduating from high school I want to go to N.C, State to major in civil engineering or go to West Point Academy. After college I want to go to into the army or the marines not really sure which one but I know its one of them. As far as English goes, I think I'm a good writer because my use of vocabulary and being very descriptive with anything that I write. My weakest part about writing is. I sometimes repeat the same thing over and over again. I also get lazy very fast and a real good story or paper goes down hill. I plan to pass English with at least a 85 this semester. I can do this by not joking around and do my work.

Being Human
To be human basically means having the power to do stuff on your own. Like the power to think, animals cant have that power. So they do stuff without thinking. For example somebody could tell a dog to go jump and the dog would for the simple fact it cant think on its own. Humans also have money which that’s what we strive for. Animals and Other creatures don’t strive for that like we do. We work for everything, compared to an animal who doesnt really have to work. Also have foresight, we know that if we do something whats more likely gonna happen after that. Animals are told what to do without whats knowing whats next. We have the power to worship whoever and whatever we want to. Other species don’t have that choice. We have technology to do every if we didn’t we would be crazy.

This I Believe
Have you ever heard somebody tell you, “keep going, hard work pays off”. You in the midst of being lazy have probably looked at them and blown them off, right? Well they weren't lying, I use to blow them off too. But as I aged and started playing more basketball in leagues with competition I realized it was very true. During my first season at New Bern High I heard that phrase so many times from coach Phil.. It came true one game at New Hanover High School in Wilmington, NC. That whole week in practice I had worked to be the best shooter period on the team. I would be the first one in the gym for practice and the last one out. So we were in the fourth quarter we were down by ten with two minutes left. We worked our butts off to cut that deficit down to two. But with six seconds left, I was fouled and sent to the line. Free throws wasn't my best area of shooting but being that I had practiced so hard I had confidence that these two shots were going in. I was exhausted but I managed to make the first free throw. I made the second one too, which tied the game up. I believe that if I hadn't worked so hard in practice I would have missed the free throws. So believe it when I say it hard work pays off!
