Sample post:
One way that I’ve grown is my determination. In the blog entry about my tennis tournament, I showed that I was much more determined to win by the hard work I completed before the tournament. Even though I lost my first match in the tournament, I didn’t give up. The next match, I worked twice as hard and won! Another blog entry that shows how determined I’ve become is my language arts reflections. Even though I dislike writing, I kept at it and showed a lot of improvement throughout the year. My first essay, I got a C+. I became really determined to become a better writer. I listened carefully in class and wrote good notes. For my next essay, I put a lot of time into my rough draft and carefully revised my next essay using the comments from other students. My determination paid off because I got a B! I wish I had gotten an A, but it’s okay because I improved a lot from my first essay. I’m still determined to get that A and there’s another essay coming up, so who knows what I’ll get if I continue to grow in determination.
