Hello! My name is Scarlett D., and I've recently read the blog posts from the honors students last year. The pieces of advice were amazing! There were three things that I saw come up a lot. One of these things was do not procrastinate. This seems like a great piece of advice to follow because school is more stressful when you procrastinate. Another piece of advice was to read. This seems like a good idea, saying that this IS a language arts class, after all! The final piece of advice I will be talking about is to pay attention in class. This is a good piece of advice that I will follow because  you can't learn anything if you don't pay attention. I will be sure to follow all of these pieces of advice, because they will all help me become a better student.
     I love to write stories in my spare time. I come up with characters and have just fallen in love with them. They have existed for almost 2 years now. I love writing fantasy stories, and I feel like I never run out of ideas. (Even if some of them are really weird!) I hope to become a better writer this year. I also hope to finish at least on of the stories I am writing, saying that right now I am writing about 4. I started writing my own stories in 3rd grade. At first, I would just write random essays. I would write about pretty much anything. Sometimes I would write how-to guides. Then, in 4th grade, I started actually writing stories and sharing them with my friends. I have continued writing stories since then. I love writing and drawing, even though I'm not a very good artist! I like to free write and write haiku. Haiku is the only type of poetry I like writing. I am very excited for this year in language arts with Mrs. Robins!
