My intentions during the semester is to get through it and try to get good grades during the semester. Throughout this semester I also want to learn many new materials in my classes that I can use to help me.  I am looking forward to improving my writing and learning how to use the techniques properly and formally so in the future I can use it in formal interactions. Some obstacles that I face during the semester is distractions and my time management. I struggle sometimes with focusing because someone is usually home all the time in my family and trying to focus can be hard because a lot of times I might want to do something with my brothers or because at home I have more access to somethings I wouldn’t at school for example my bed, phone and games. Another obstacle I face is keeping track of everything I need to work on in my classes. How the class is at the moment is good and the only thing that would help me is feedback on my writing prompts or assignments because then the next time that I write something similar I can now improve it with any tips that you give me would really help out a lot. My time in between classes I will usually try to eat a snack or if I have enough time I cook a simple meal so I can focus better. Many times when I am hungry I will get distracted and can’t really learn well. Also in between classes I will try to check anything that was assigned during the class and look over the assignment to see how much time it will take me to finish. The reason I do this is so in my mind I set aside other things because I am going to need that time to complete a certain assignment or project. Some responsibilities outside of class is taking care of my cat mainly since my brothers and dad will go to work I usually am the one that stays home and takes care of him the most. What I hope to gain from this course is to learn something interesting facts or maybe some cool stories and articles but mainly improve my writing and applying everything I learn to help me improve myself and maybe use this in other areas of my life like sending emails the right way and formally.
