The mind of a 9th Grader

The mind of a ninth grader is a very intricate and delicate place. This is the year where you know what you are going to make of your life, whether it is a CEO of a company or political leader of your country. However, before you can get to be a leader of your country, you must know the complexity of the English Language. At the start of the year, I was very laid back, as I was not very keen to study English. This is because I always saw myself perusing the mathematical and scientific route of life.  However, with the help of my parents and teacher, and a strong will to succeed, I pushed myself to developing sound skills in all parts of the language, which would benefit me in the future.

In my portfolio, I have selected six pieces that represent me and my efforts inputted into the language. The first piece entitled ‘POP COLA’ is a review on a painting seen in the IB art exhibition. I chose this piece, because it was the last piece of writing that we did during the course of the year, and the final result shows my all round success throughout the year. Ms. Andrews quoted ‘this is a wonderful response to the art exhibition Rushad – one of the best I have seen. Your language and layout are first class.’ This really boosted my confidence, and I am proud of my efforts this year.

It was a totally new style of writing, rather than just a plain essay format. We had to write in first ...
