Reflections on writing

I am not that great of a writer, but I try to do well when I write. As a freshmen I was a worse writer than I am now, but the problem was I thought that I was good. Sometimes writing can be tedious work especially if you are writing about something you don't care about. The less I care about a subject the worse I do on that particular writing assignment. I feel I have improved a lot in my writing since my ninth and tenth grade year because I am more aware in my writing and I have more experience. During my Sophomore year I got I barely got C's on my papers but now I am doing better. Surprisingly, Latin which is the foreign I take has helped me a lot in my writing because it taught me better writing and it taught me more about tenses and participles that I use in my writing. I still need quite a bit of improvement in my writing skills but I am doing much better than I was before.
