Heart Of Darkness
Working on this essay was a difficult task for me, I did not think I would be able to get the grade I did get. I felt in the end it was worth it, I woke up early and stayed up late in the night just to make sure this essay was/is good enough to get at least an 8. From last year, my writing has really improved due to the outlines done in class and help from our other peers. During this time last year, my writing with my essay’s was poorly done, I feel like it greatly improved. If I had additional time, I think that my essay would be a really high grade as the effort I put into the essay was a great amount. I still need to work on learning how to put my paragraph structure in order, it seems really difficult towards me. In total, my essay showed a great improvement from last year and I’m really proud of how I’ve grown since my year as a ninth grader.

Multi-Genre Project
Finishing the sophomore school year with a Multi-Genre project, I can honestly say I really enjoyed doing this one. Our multi-genre project consisted of us adding different pieces of literature into a book based on a topic you received. My topic was sex-trafficking, which is when women are forced to do sexual acts unwillingly for money in their/different countries. My multi-Genre has three pieces a fact sheet, newspaper article, and a short story which is all written by me using facts and research of resources on the NYPL (New York Public Library).

As a student who currently dreads the idea of art, I can honestly say I had enjoyed making this video for the amount of time that we had to do so for. I worked on the video with Mackenize Donohue and while working on the video we sort of slacked but still got it done on time. In January of 2012, during regents week for high school students we had a presentation of our videos to the whole tenth grade and our video won for a category. I'm really proud of the video because of our winning and because it just brings back a lot of memories to some of us kids born in the 1990s. It shows evolution in the shows that have been created as time progresses. Having a longer time with the video wouldn't be much of an improvement, it was complicated on how to important the videos and where to get the pictures from but it in the end it paid off.
