My Expectations for English This Year

I am very happy to be taking English this year. I have strengths I wish to expand on and weaknesses
to improve. I have two main goals for this class this year. I hope with the help of my teacher and
classmates I can make the most of this class. I am interested in English in many areas. For
beginners, I would like to read novels. In the past, I would choose to read short, young adult books.
Now I believe I am ready to read harder, more advanced books. I used to dread writing assignments,
but I have come to realize writing is part of life. I just have to do it. Overall I enjoy English class. I have
more weaknesses than strengths when it comes to English. My strengths are reading well,
brainstorming ideas for writing assignments, and turning homework in on time. I can read well, but the
trouble comes when I need to understand what I read.

When it comes to writing, I have trouble expressing the words in a unique way. Finally, my grammar
could use improvement in areas such as spelling and punctuation. After much consideration, I have
come up with two goals that I hope to achieve from this class. The first one is to become a better,
more advanced writer. I choose this goal because I feel communication is the key to life. In order to
communicate well, I need to be able to write and read. That brings me to my second goal: to be able
to get the most out of what I read. I want to be able to understand what I read. Accomplishing these
goals will help me prepare for college. I am looking forward to writing a lot of stories, essays, and
journal entries this year. I also am excited about reading novels to expand my reading level. I hope to
achieve my goals. In doing all this and with practice, I hope to be well prepared for college.

Throughout this new learning process, I hope to develop the skills to be a better communicator, both
orally and in written communications. I've always somewhat lacked confidence in writing and I hope to
gain the skills to write effective letters and reports. I hope to develop leadership skills and have
confidence in myself and in the decisions I make. I hope to learn how to set priorities and manage my
time better both at home and at work. Just making the decision and taking the steps to further my
education feels liberating and eases the anxiety I've always felt about not furthering my education. I
feel my fears about "not measuring up" will subside and a sense of camaraderie will develop with my
associates at work.
