Some of my biggest motivators are my parents because they always work hard and try their best to help me get a better education and become a better person. Another would be Ms. Tyler because she’s always pushing me to do my best and making me turn in my work. Another would be my siblings because I’m trying to become a role model for them so that they have someone to look up to, and guide them through the things that they’ll eventually face. One of my biggest struggles is actually trying to do my work and turning it in and not falling asleep in class. So what I started doing was was starting to do my work earlier and I have a little alarm set on my phone  and I started sleeping earlier too so I can actually be awake the whole class. It works, people actually see my eyes now. Some of my strengths have to be writing, creative writing, or any type of writing because according to Ms. Tyler, I’m one of the better writers in the class. Some weaknesses definitely has to be doing my work and actually staying on top of things. I’m still working on it. I’m getting better but it’s really one of my weakest points. Some of my accomplishments have been getting some of the best Lexile scores, getting chosen to be one of the speakers at the YMCA and I think that was a really big accomplishment for me, and being able to actually overcome my shyness in English and actually become more talkative and outspoken.
