The Writing Center
The Writing Center was a helpful place to improve on my paper. My writing fellow and I worked on my present tense and focused on one topic. We continued to work on how to stop the repetition in my paper and improve my formatting. We also worked on my introduction and conclusion, which was the toughest thing to do for this paper. We also focused more on the teacher's feedback to get ways to change up the paper.
Since I've been to the Writing Center, I looked for useless information such as quotations that doesn't support my argument. My conclusion doesn't bring up new information that doesn't support my claim and my introduction gives a perfect background of Lord of the Flies and my thesis. I worked on looking at sentences that is not needed and not explaining the story.

Myself in the Future
I see myself in the future being a famous baseball player living in huge mansion with my family. I hope to fulfill my life to the best of my ability by staying in school to make good grades and putting in more work to make myself a better player in the future. I want people to see me as a hard working person who believed in what he focused on the most, which is baseball. I also want the people of Earth to remember me as the greatest of all time and to ever play the sport at the level of Jackie Robinson and Ken Griffey. Jr.
I want to accomplish multiple goals as my journey continues to be the best to ever live. I plan to win a high school state championship and a NCAA College Baseball Word Series championship. I want to be drafted in the 1st round of the MLB Draft and get through the minors. I plan to win Rookie of the Year and be selected to the All-Star Game. I want to break records such as Ricky Henderson's stolen base record at 1,406. I want to win a MVP Award and win a Gold Glove Award,too. I want to win the World Series and most importantly, be selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The goals I set for myself will be challenging, but I will not give up until I achieve them.

Time Management
My life right now is dedicated to school. Some of my time is dedicated to sports. But once I get home, I'm tired. I have to finish homework and probably have to study for a quiz or test. Being a Student-Athlete, I struggle with managing my time for studying for my classes and staying focus on my work. I know sometimes I don't love school like I love sports. I believe sports is the only thing that comes up in my mind all day. But then, my grades soon to decrease sometimes because of something I love so much. I don't do as well because I clam and I focus more on sports. I think of what time the MLB games start and seeing the highlights of the games.But once a class grade drops, my parents are hard on me because of my grades going from an A to an C or an A to a B.
Sometimes, I don't have fun at home because on weekends, I continue to do my school work and study because I have time. I have a lot of time on weekends because I don't socialize with other people and I don't have family in Baton Rouge. But during the week, I don't have time because of practice and once I get home, I'm tired and I don't do my best towards my school work. I recommend during tutorial, instead of socializing with friends, like I do, do work so you can enjoy the rest of your day and weekend. If you don't finish your homework, your just going to finish as soon as you get home.Oh I almost forgot. Try to do your homework on Fridays and your Saturday will be full of joy and memories with your friends the rest of your life. Or your going to end up like me, doing homework right now on a Sunday afternoon and I could be watching football with my family. So tell me your opinion on this post, because I know some of you are experiencing the same problem I have.

Troubles on my Literary Analysis
On my literary analysis, I have a lot of problems I'm trying to correct on my draft. I'm having trouble staying on the topic about my thesis. I continue to struggle on explaining the quotes and looking closely into the effect of the situation. I also have a problem of shorting my quotes because I want to use the whole quote to explain my supporting point. I am also having a problem of explaining the topic, but the people who read the book already know the information. I continue to explain the story.
The resources I used to help me get away from these problems was the Writing Center, my book, and a few websites on how to write an essay with a thesis. The Writing Center was very helpful because my writing fellow explained to me why some of my sentences weren't need and how to correct the sentence into the right form. My book was useful because as I looked at the quotes, I started to look for the characters' feelings and voice. The websites helped because it gave me an easier way to explain my information in my draft. I would look up different websites to help you with your problems and go to the Writing Center for further help.
