Portfolio: Strengths and Challenges

Let's start with an area I need some work on: organization. Especially in my research paper, my organization sometimes lead essays to be confusing. This is also true of my personal narrative. I should really work on this because, you know, organization is important in, like, everything. So I'll try to get it straight. It's not like I'm not getting it at all, but it could use some work. A subset of organization that I need to work on is transitions in long papers. Sometimes I get too caught up in the big meaning of the essay that I move right on through getting from one subject matter to the other. Which is not good.

Now for some self-confidence: my strengths. One strength is that I am able to develop my ideas pretty well. Once I have an idea, I can make it as developed as I need it to be (if given a ton of time). The problem is getting the idea. Once it has come, though, I am able to turn into an essay that isn't too bad. So the developing of ideas isn't that bad for me, but organizing the parts of the well-developed idea is. But at least I'm ok at starting the essay.
