F.+Midterm+Essay

Kaleigh Foley January 26, 2011 English 11 2A   Dear Me, So, for the first semester I have either not turned everything in on time, misplaced it, or did not have the time to do the work. That is going to change the second semester. My goal for next semester is to be more organized with my schoolwork because I can turn everything in on time if I know where everything is, it will be easier to find, and it will be neater. I can turn everything in on time if I know where it is. I will have dividers and separate binders for all of my classes that require binders. I will put my class work, notes, homework, projects, and tests/quizzes in the correct section. I will put my name, date, block, and the subject in the upper right hand corner (unless there is a line provided for them). I will put the work in reverse chronological order. It is a good skill to have. While writing a resume, I will be able to put everything in the right section. Also when filling out a college application, I can put under skills that I am excellent at organizing. When writing an essay for Mrs. Szymczak’s English class, she will be able to understand the topic a lot easier. Also it will be not as confusing as it is now to understand. The work will be neater and easier to read. If I keep the work in binders and not in a book or my purse, they will not be torn or wrinkled. The papers will not have other information on it, for example a phone number that I will have to call after school. If I need to go back and look at my notes when studying for a test, I will be able to read it. The teacher(s) will not have to take a guess at what I wrote on the homework or class work because it will be legible enough to read.

If I start to get organized, I will be able to pass all my classes! So all together, I will be able to stay organized at school and at home. I definitely need to stay organized at my desk at home, because my desk looks like a tornado went through it. . My goal for next semester is to be more organized with my schoolwork because I can turn everything in on time if I know where everything is, it will be a good skill to have, and it will be neater. So, I need to get off of the unorganized boat and get into the organized boat! Love, Kaleigh M. Foley
