i need someone to be honest with my paper. i dont want them to read it and think about me because even though i wrote it i want my paper to have its own personality. maybe i'll feel a little emabarrased, depending on the errors, but i can handle the truth. specially if i know that at the end is just going to help me and its beneficial for my writing life. the sentence level i have is poor sometimes specially when  become very familiar with my paper i tempt to stop seen my mistakes and everything looks good to me. and even if the paper was already good i'm one of the persons who thinks theres always room for improvement, and working hard will always push me to be a better writter, to accomplish better and bigger goals. the fact that i'm asking for people or the group to be HONEST doesnt mean that they have the right to be rude or disrespecful. i will respect everyones paper but i ask for the same respect back. about personality i dont think that really matters, or actually depnds how you see it or interpret it. for example i dont really think it matters if someone is funny or not because we are going to be working and correcting not socializing. but also they cant be scared to speak up and express their oppinions. i think that this is a really good class so this wont be a problem BUT i dont like those who think they know everything and when they dont they make it up! obviously of we are here and in school is because we are all stll learning or else we would be getting paid tons of money. but i know some people have stronger areas than others and i really like the factt hey share their knowledge without being cocky about it. what i can provide is the same, respect truth and honest opinion i'm also nice and i like to show when someone wrote a good paragraph pr sentence so they know they can do it and maybe got back and review it to make a new one but of course with different ideas. 

an essay is to share our ideas, before when we were in high school we used to write for a grade but now that we are or i shiould say i'm in college i need to learn how to wite and make it useful for our future. it is kind of hard because at least on my case i used to write following certain pattern. i now have to wite and make myself happy, i need to use my own form, used my own language and then get feed fack. this feed abck will be useful but it desnt mean that i have to change 

For this quarter I want to be able to write without any fear and also more confident. I don’t want to feel afraid whenever I’m writing a paper. I want to be able to enjoy reading what I wrote and also being able to take advice from others to make my writing better but not taking it in a bad or negative way. Last quarter I did learn a lot about writing and it was very helpful, but now I need to be able to do it without the teacher, I know it’s good to have her in class because she doesn’t lie to me or she doesn’t have any hidden secrets about writing but I feel like she did her part already and now it’s just about me trying all this tools. I would like to feel satisfied but at the same time I want my readers to feel satisfied with what they read. I don’t want to change the way I think or the way I write or my ideas, I just want to make them better, polish them and maybe something good will come out. Also I want to be able to identify where I’m making mistakes either in grammar or transitions or pretty much anything. I might have the potential to be a good writer but I’m just not working it out, I need to really work on vocabulary and new ways to approach the sentences, a problem with that for me is that I was born in México and English is my second language, so when I started to learn English I had already missed a lot of the rules in grammar and everything, my vocabulary is sort of limited, but I am willing to try something new and keep learning! I really want to be a good writer or at least a descent one, a person who can’t write is someone who can’t speak up and I don’t want to be that person. 

Every country on earth at the moment is reforming public education. And the 2 reasons for that are economic, and the second one is cultural. It’s good that we have schools like that because our culture doesn’t get lost. Before when people used to go to school they had the belief that if you did well, then you would go to college and then you would have a job, but now that is not necessary true. A degree doesn’t guarantee a job. There are 2 types of people academic people and non academic, but a lot of people who are smart don’t consider themselves to be smart. Kids who have ADHD are being medicated, but it’s not something epidemic. Children now days are living with a lot of distractions and obviously in a whole new world. They have computers, TV, phones, and all the technology which keeps them distracted and not paying attention to school. A lot of the medication that they are using with the kids s actually putting them to sleep rather than waking them up. Children in school are still traditional like before, they’re separated by age and subjects. Divergent thinking is someone who has creativity and making or having ideas with value. Geniuses are in the divergent thinking, but the percentage varies depending on your age. We all have the potential to be super smart but over the years it fades away. Everyone has a different way to learn, some learn alone and others learn in groups.

When you check your work and you don’t like anything, you know you can do better and at that moment you just feel disgusted. You can use all different kinds of fancy language but at the end your writing still doesn’t have anything valuable. Sometimes you don’t feel nausea at the beginning or through revision, but maybe at the end when you read it you will get this nausea feeling. But it will only help you, and later or eventually you will see the patterns that you need to avoid, in the long run your papers will just get better and you will not feel nausea after revising your work. After if you find yourself still don’t the same thing and writing stuff that doesn’t make sense then you can use the cut technique and that way you won’t get rid of all your work that you’ve work for very hard. The key to success is that you are not afraid to fight with the demons that are holding you back from writing a terrific paper.
