Friday, March 20

thinking about my papers, i feel way more confident with them now then i did when they were first wrote. the biggest problem that i am having at the moment is the first paper that was written. the problem paper. i am writing about how young children need extra curricular activities in order for them to be more successful later in life. i can not seem to stop bringing solutions into this paper.
another one of my papers that is rough is the one i wrote about nuclear power. at the beginning i was for it and towards the end i was more against it. i was just simply confused on what to think about that topic. i have never really had to think about that before and i never really found it to interesting. that was the first time that a topic was given to me and i was told to write about it. i think that explains why i have more trouble with that compared to myself picking out the topic i want to write about.
being that at the beginning of the year i had never written a single paper in my life, i feel that i have improved more than i thought i every would. writing is something i actually do on my own time now and i enjoy it more each time i do it as long as it is a topic i am interested in.

you have improved and that's a good thing - going from having written no papers to writing all the time is a good step - well done, and keep it up!

now, for your first paper, think of it directly as the problem - you stated it "kids need more extracurricular activities" - rather than bringing in solutions, look at why they need these activities - what is happening after school that is distracting them and having a negative influence on them - then, in your solution paper, discuss how to solve these issues
