Strengths and Weakness

When it comes to writing, it is not as easy as it may seem. When writing a poem or a story, it takes time and preparation to make sure it's written correctly. Never write in a fast pace because your words that  you trying to get out will come out wrong or misunderstood. My strength is whenever I write, I try to have my story in my head. So I can make sure it's well-developed when I put it on my paper. There are areas of improvement I need to improve on. The main one that I need to improve on is writing a thesis statement. Sometimes, it's hard to come up with one because I always feel it doesn't sound good or written correctly.

Introduction

My name is Derrick Dickerson Jr and I am currently taking AP English 11 at B.C. Rain High School. I have so much to say about myself. I like to listen to music, spending time with my family, play video games, and play basketball. I was playing basketball ever since I was five years old and a couple of years later, I continue to fulfill my dream to become a professional basketball player. But basketball is really not the only thing I want to do in my life. I always wanted to become an engineer. Math and science really help me wanted to become an engineer and that makes me feel motivated deep down inside. There are so many types of engineering class in college, but the only one that I want to choose is to be a  mechanical engineer. My expectations of this school year is to continue what I suppose to do each and every week and it is to become a successful student. The only way to be successful during school  is to be in school on time, doing my work, make my GPA goes higher, do well in the ACT test, and most importantly pass my AP exam next year. This course is going to be tough, but by learning through this with the rest of my classmates, there is nothing to be worried about.
