How Healthy Are My Writing Skills Throughout my years of English courses, I have had teachers tell me I need to work on my writing skills. I have always thought that my writing skills were excellent because of the simple fact that I make three’s, fours and some times fives on my writing assignments. My goal was to be able to reach a six like my friends, Timothy, Thomas, Robert, and a boy we called JoJo. We were very competitive about our writing; but a six was the highest score you could make and I was on a verge of a break through. It was so close and I could taste it like a victorious football game on Monday night live. Well just like bad TV. Shows, my great writing skills ended when my elementary school days vanished like summers to a new school year. I began middle school and I got through my six grade school year just fine. I had no problems on my papers and I think I had a great teacher! I think she had a crush on me. Well I don’t know if she really was crushing on me because she seemed to smile at every body. I caught her one day smiling at a girl in my same class, telling her to wake up. A new year started and I was finally in the seventh grade. It was the third week of my seventh grade year as I sat in my English class waiting on my essay paper to be handed back. Our instructor told the class to write about our daily hobbies the previous day and the next day we would receive them back. She called every student one by one, and I was last to go. Emotions of excitement ran through my veins patiently waiting for the paper I put my all into my paper; filling the page with details of my everyday life. She says good morning and I simile gently and reply good morning back. She lets me in on how I did telling me she had a hard time reading my paper, and I was on a elementary writing level.
