Journal #25: "My Vocabulary History"

My strong points would be expressing my vocabulary while telling one of my personal expirences. My weak points would maybe be using words in the right place and speech. I have studied vocabulary by spelling tests, and vocabulary work books in school. The "Reading Circle" group activities has helped me in certain ways in word choice, and different styles of word choice. I personally learn new words by reading, and studying them over and over again to get them stuck on my head. I learned the word conspiracy and i looked in the dictionary to find the true meaning of the word. My vocabulary/word choice goals would be to learn new words and be able to use them correctly in my writings. I would like to learn atleast "25" new words this semester to increase my vocabulary. My evidence would be to use those words in my future writings for a class assignment.

An Explosive Memory (Journal #20)

New Years Eve is always a joyful moment for me. The aroma from the burning fireworks are always to be expected. My family and I bought ariels and many fireworks to pop on this day. Adrenaline rushing through my veins gives me pure happiness and a perfect mood for fun. Soon as it was 12 'o clock, everyone embraces and hugs each other with love and care, knowing that we have a new spectacular year ahead of us.  In the end we all end up sleeping comfortably in our beds thinking about what this year has in store for the future.
