Hi there, my name is Addie Platt, and I just finished reading some of last years blog posts, and I found three pieces of advice that are really helpful!  The first one is, Don't Procrastinate!!!  I know pretty much everyone said that as their number one piece of advice, but I think that it is very important, and Mrs. Robins talks about it a lot!  I literally am the worst when it comes to doing my homework right when my mom tells me to, I always wait until the last second to get my assignments done.  By the way I am writing my post one day late (now you know how bad I am at not procrastinating).  The second piece of advice I picked up was, Pay Attention!!  I am usually really good at this.  If you don't pay attention you won't know what to do when Mrs. Robins comes around and says, "you need to be working on blank"!  I have found myself in that situation many times .   And the last piece of advice I found was, Relax!!  Relaxing can sometimes be hard, when you think you have so much to do in LA.  But usually your probably just stressing out to much because, like Mrs. Robins said, she doesn't give out any homework other than the blog and reading.  I can tell that Honors LA is going to be so fun!  Mrs. Robins is probably already my favorite teacher!

     I love writing and reading!!  But writing wasn't always my favorite, I used to hate writing because I couldn't type fast enough, and I would never get my essays done in time!  I have gotten better at it and now am in honors language arts!  I love writing about my life and fantasy.  I really don't like writing argumentative and informational essays, because they are always so boring.  I actually like reading a lot more than writing,  my favorite genre of book is fantasy.  There are too many great books to read.  I am so glad to be in honors L.A.!!  I know It will be a great year!!
