Writing Center

My writing center visit was extremely helpful. I will try and go to the writing center every time I have a paper due even if I do not have to. I will also try and visit with the same writing fellow that I did this last time. I would recommend David Whitehurst to anyone that needs help writing.
David helped me figure out the issues I had with my paper from my teacher conference and peer review. He told me exactly what I could do to fix it. David also helped me with other issues he saw with my paper. I would recommend the writing center to anyone even if you think your paper is exactly where it needs to be.

Sarah's Prompt

My priorities in high school are generally the same as they were in middle school. In middle school, I was more focused on school, video games, and that is it. In high school, I am trying to still focus on school but also trying to do more things with my friends and put more time into sports. Don't get me wrong I am still putting the amount of time into my school work that I need to, but I am trying to do more things than just video games besides school. 

In high school, I have learned that it is necessary to have fun. Having a good time with my friends helps to get through all the things I have to do for school, in and out of school. Balancing school work and time with my friends are difficult but so worth it. It is rare but when I do both at the same time is really great because I am productive but having fun while doing it. I would recommend this to anyone in high school. Working with friends helps get it done quicker and your are hanging out with your friends.

Recently I have finished the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. I really enjoyed these books. They took the modern world and mixed Greek Mythology together seamlessly. I would recommend it to anyone who likes funny but also suspenseful books.
Since I have finished that series, I have started to read it's sister series The Heroes of Olympus. It takes the same heroes from the previous series and adds new ones. It also adds the Romans and their mythology together. The Romans and Greeks join and arms and have to fight one of the greatest enemies in Greek Mythology.

Literary Analysis

My Literary Analysis is coming along. I am not far into to it but what I do have is excellent. The hardest things for me to do on my draft is to shape my sentences and paragraphs to say exactly what I am trying to do. Another hard thing for me to do is to feel sure about my writing. I am not the most confident writer. One resource I use to make it easier is I always am looking up synonyms on thesaurus.com. At the moment I am struggling with starting paragraphs. A piece of advice I would give to my peers if you are like my and you are not the most confident writer is to go paragraph by paragraph with Dr. d to make sure that is what she is looking for. This takes a good bit longer, but the quality of your paragraphs will be great.
