My current goal is to get the diploma and to move forward to my future, however to get there I have some stuff that I have to work on, like how to edit. Every time I am loosing marks in that particular category, I clearly want to learn, so I will work on by redoing my major assignment, trying to see where I am making mistakes, coz when I am doing those punctuation mistakes I can’t see it, and it’s lack of ignorant. I am planning to become a Nurse which is all about math and science; however it’s very important to learn the proper writing, because I don’t want struggle formatting one paragraph in life.

My goals are still generally the same, to pass english with a decent mark, and improve on my creative writing skills. I hope to do this by getting all my assignments in, asking for help if needed, and focusing more on the assignments I have difficulty with more than the other ones.

I need to work more with my essay writting ability , I have never been good with puncuation and my school wasn't one that really focused on it. So being able to correctly use grammar and puncuation would be what  I'd need to focus on. Also idea planning ,because I have too many ideas that I want or could write about but I tend to re-write things over and over again. Revising my work would also be an area I need work in or at least showing I've revised it. I don't tend to make rough copies , I usually write and erase repeatedly until I get out perfectly(to me atleast) what I am trying to say.

My main goal is to pass this class in order to further my education. I don't think that I will ever write an essay again but the skills I learned are still good to have. I am happy with where I am at right now with the class. I never applied myself when I was in highschool and it's good to know that I am capable.

In this course I really just wanted to gain a little more skill in my writing. When this course began I was not as good with punctuation as I am now. Another skill I have built is not being as repetetive when writing pieces of work such as essasy for example. To me having good writing skills is important because it will be usefull for the rest of your life. Writing skills can help your chances of getting a job because good reading and writing skills is the foundation for mostley anything. Getting a diploma here means alot to me because there is certain jobs I want to get involved in that require a person to have a diploma.

My goal in this class is to pass with my highest mark possible. At mid-term, I was at 71% and i'm hoping to maintain that mark or better it. I don't think i will continue schooling after this, I have my apprenticeship to finish first. But now having my final credit gives me that option and opens many doors to me, school and job wise.

My current goals in language arts are to try to do harder in my assignments but I been having hard time since I have 3 classes going right now and I just feel very uninterested with this music assignment. My skills that I would like to work on is read over my stuff and re edit it because I hadnt had much time before and had noticed on that major assignment that I clearly still suck. The diplomat matters to me because I plan on being an accountant. I would like to use it to get somewhere in life as I defenitly will not be a writer and will be using strictly numbers or easier methods of doing so. I will be upgrading my skills as I want to be going to REd River for applied accounting.

My goal is to just improve my English and then actually move onto university. Though I still need to improve on my editing and structure of my essays and where to break up my sentences, due to the fact that I like to rabble on and on in my eassys. Also with me improving my essay writing I hope that my writing when I get into university is up to their standards and that I get the grades that are need to gradute from university. Getting work back and having it marked is a big help to improve my writing ability as well because it allows me to understand my problems but also improve and ask questions on things that do not make sense. Though the important skill I need to improve is that of my creativity because I seem to be lacking in that when I write papers and other writing assignments but to improve that just takes time and practice is all.

I feel that I have always had trouble with english but I have surprised myself in the progress I have made through these classes, this english class has not been easy for me. I would like to work on my essay writting and my grammer. In the neek few weeks left of english I would like to work as hard as I can and get a good mark. This diploma does matter because there is an achievement in itself something to be proud of and being happy that there was another chance for me to go back to school to recieve a diploma. So this has been the best oppertunity to have.

My goal in the english languadge arts id to revise and edit better, every time i try i always lose marks because of my lack in skils for this process. I also wish to complete this course and maybe use the very skills i learn to possibly write lyrics and poems, i find them intriging and easy to express myself with them. The diploma matters to me because it is proof that i have put the effort into accomplishing a goal and shows that i wasn't a graduate because i was sick all the tme no the point that i made the effrot to learn and earn it is why it matters. I Could build my skills here in lyric writting by getting a better understanding of the human languadge we invented it and even we don't fully understand it so it would realyy help if i could have more knowledge on the subject. I write lyrics from time to time but find myself repeating some terms and analogies and need more substance which is why i need this class. I would also like to achieve a goal of writing songs for my favorite artists and earn both many and more importantly friends while i do this. I will be getting there if i learn the languadge and terms and anologie and everything else to help express the feelings, subjects and other situations around me and share them with the world.

In the English course I want to improve my mark and grammar from previous years. The way I'm going to improve my mark is by completing all the assignments that are given out and making sure I do them properly. I will improve on my grammar by reading my work over, I will also use spell check to make sure I spelt the words correct. Getting the diploma is important because it opens more doors for the future. After I get my diploma I will keep using the skills I learned in English, I will use them to make sure my letters, emails or whatever needs a format and checking are done right.

I came into this course unsure of my writing skills considering I hadn't done much writing in the past several years( life got in the way). I'm trying to work on my researching skills for future projects for this course as well as for my future foiree into nursing. I'm sure I'll have alot of researcing and essay writing to do when in school full time. I feel as though I've gained some useful skills for future education.

I have always enjoyed writing and feel that it comes quite naturally for me. I think for me, the most important thing that I need to develop is a stronger sense of confidence in my writing. My confidence improves with each assignment that I complete and I believe that this is the only way that I will improve my confidence. I am still not quite decided on which career path I am going to choose once I have my diploma but feel that strong writing skills will be an asset no matter which direction I choose. On a personal level, writing is important to me as my Mom had always wanted me to write a book about her life. This is something that I do carry with me and hope to someday achieve. Even if I was to write a book about my Mom’s life, that was only for chosen eyes to read, I would feel the need to make it as poignant as possible as I would want my readers to feel the true essence of her.

My goals for this course are to continue with the high caliber of work I have been handing in. I find that english comes naturally to me, how could I go wrong giving my opinion? I would like to maintain the marks I have recieved thus far, because I think any career I choose will require a firm grasp on communication, and being able to clearly express myself. I take a lot of pride in the assignments I turn in, and intend to continue doing so.

My goal in language arts is to try and pass with at least a 75%. In order to do this I need to re-read over my work to make sure that all of the writing variables are present and correct. I think I need to watch my paragraph structure more carefully to make sure I’m not jumping all over the place. Getting my diploma is important to me so I can get a better job. It’s pretty hard to get anywhere now a days without it.

Mainly, my core goal and aim in this course (english 40S)is to highly pass this course besides upgrading my english skills such as; listening,speaking, reading, studying and writing skills.Upgrading these skills will basically assist me in handling further studies with an ease. In an effort to reach these standards, I have been exposing myself to various internet english sources to learn all those basic skills. Moreover,getting the diploma will ease my admission to university.

Some of the goals that i did set for myself at the begining of the semster i have accomplished because of my hard work and by jody helping me when i did not have an understanding about my work. After i do go up and get my diploma i no there is still work that has to be done with post secondary schooling, after i graduate i would like to go get my apprenticeship for carpentry and then go start my life with a good career. my goals for the next of weeks are to make sure that i finish all outstanding assignments and to make sure that i do a good exam prep because the exam is what makes me stressout alot.
