1. Describe what you learned from visiting the writing center this semester and what changes you made to your paper as a result.  If you did not visit the writing center this semester, please just indicate that.  Remember to avoid last names in your description, and only use names at all if your comments are positive.

During my trip to the writing center, I learned a lot about myself and the writing center. I learned that nothing is included in writing for no reason. The writer always has a purpose and has a point he or she wants to convey. Being confident in the choices I made to put in my literary analysis are really important. I learned you have to make strong choices. I was second-guessing myself and wasn't giving my paper 100% because I wasn't confident.

Sara Alice and Ms. Spate helped me find the direction I wanted to take when starting my paper. I went before I started my paper so I did not technically make changes to my paper as stated in the prompt. However, they were very helpful and I liked how even though they were helping me there was some sense that they still left room for me to fill in the blanks.

Dear young Katherine Ann, 

Here is some advice that comes from experience that you should take advantage of. Do not drink hot chocolate when you know how hot it is no matter how much you want to drink it right when you receive it. Secondly, don't judge a book by its cover. Making new friends is so important, especially in middle school. Thirdly, always be confident and be yourself. Everyone is unique in their own special way, don't try to be someone your not. 

Always make choices because it makes you happy life is too short to do things you don't love to do. Take piano seriously it will become so useful when you start doing musicals. Also, learn your conversions in math because they are so important throughout the rest of the math classes you will take.
