Day: 8 February 2017

New Years, a  time when we make resoIutions and try to complete them. I really like to write, so this year, I pledge to improve my writing.

I’d like to try and add more detail to my writing and become better at planning what I am going to write.

When my writing lacks detail, it makes me confused and when I’m confused, I rewrite my writing and then the same cycle can go on and on. I guess I should try to be more specific when I am describing something and I should use more descriptive words.

Since I like to read, I can try and find words in books or dictionaries.

Sometimes I don’t know what to write because I am unprepared. This makes it difficult to write. Especially since I can sometimes be a procrastinator. This also causes writer’s block.  

I also get ideas from reading books.

I hope to become a better writer by 2018, at least.

I was a little scared heading in to the new school, but it was great! I know you won’t believe it but I’m actually in Mr. Marghelis is class, and probably Danijel and Angelica remember him but it’s ok if you don’t. I miss you guys; I still have to pick up my stuff there! Ok, have a great time you guys.

New Year resolutions are a good way to learn and do new things. I have chosen a few resolutions to do in 2017.

My first resolution is that I want to write a book series. The reason for that is that I want to become a better writer. Writing is also a way to express one’s thoughts and feelings to the reader. I also have a ton of great ideas in my head.

My second resolution is that I want to learn how to program or to animate. The reason for that is that, I think working with computers and programming or animating is going to be very fun. It also allows you to test your intelligence and skill.

My parents try to help me learn these things because they are very important in life. If I want to be a writer when I’m older, I have to know how to write and have a wide vocabulary. My Mom helps me with writing because she is quite good at drawing, writing, colouring, etc.

My Father has two Masters Degrees in Computer Science, and also taught the subject in the University of Dhaka, so he helps me with learning how to program and he says he will teach me how to animate. Both of my parents are very skilled and have experienced very much, so they know a lot of things.

In the end, I want to do even more and be better than I already am. These are just two of the things I want to do and learn.
