Hi my name is Camille Van Gils! As I finished reading last years blog post and about the pieces of advice that stood out to me I found these, DO NOT procrastinate, read a lot, and have fun! The first piece of advice is to not procrastinate. In previous years I procrastinated A LOT. I would always wait until the last second to complete my work and that was always so stressful. I found when I procrastinated my work wasn't the best it could have been. I hope that this year I can work harder at turning my assignments in earlier. Second is to read a lot! I love reading and even over the summer I read a lot. But I'm not good at choosing different types of genres so I hope this year I can branch out. I am really hoping to get into the I read 40 club this year. I think it would be great way to push myself to read more. Lastly, is to just have fun in this class! I am so excited for this class because after reading all the other blog posts, people have been saying that LA honors isn't difficult thanks to the awesome teacher, Mrs. Robins and I totally believe that! I think if I follow these pieces of advice I will have a lot of fun in this class and I will get a good grade!  

          

          I love to write. My favorite type of writing is creative writing. I love being able to use my imagination. I have a journal and I love to write my ideas, feelings, and stories. When I was in 3rd grade my parents started to notice that I really like to write. I don't like to write informational and argumentative essays as much but I hope this year I can learn to like other types of writing. I think it would be a lot of fun to write a book someday. Some of the topics I like are: Fantasy and realistic fiction. My goals for this year are to become a better reader and writer. I also really want to be apart of the I read 40 club. From seeing pictures and hearing about this club, it sounds like it would be a lot of fun! I am so excited for this year in LA!
