In English/Writing I believe I struggle in sentence variety, revising of my papers, deciding if a sentence is a sentence or run-on and where to put certain types of punctuation. In the terms of sentence variety, I struggle in that section because despite having many ideas to transmit the point I across, I oftenly use the same words over and over again just using a different layout to say something else. Also, I struggle in sentence variety because I do not have a huge vocabulary on different words to use; so in my opinion that when I use the same words over and over again, I often bore the reader. I would like to extend my vocabulary enough so that I am able to consistently use different words rather than the same old words. Despite struggling in sentence variety, I also struggle in the revising portions of my papers. When I revise my papers I see the small things such as, misspelled words and punctuation, but I miss the big things such as, run-ons and fragments.

Once I do this I firmly believe that my sentences will become one hundred percent better and so will my vocabulary because I will not use the same words over and over again. Vocabulary and sentence variety goes hand-in-hand, and if I obtain one of those goals; I believe that it will help me obtain the other goal.

As of right now I believe fragments and run ons are my biggest problem in terms of writing; once I am able to overcome this obstacle of writing, my writing will elevate to the next level, in my opinion. Finally, if I am able to revise my papers better the first time, it will make my life so much easier. This will make my life so much easier because if I can correct something the first time I do it, it will save me time in the future, so that I do not have to go back and fix it once I see my grade on the paper.
