The circulum that best supports the "This I believe" essay would be 6.a. Exploring personal issues and interests through a variety of texts. This means that you are going to write in something you believe in or a personal issue that you have gone through. For example I once wrote a paper on strength. I wrote about being strong can get you through the worst of times.
My story was about me. I'm sick, I have a sever seizure disorder. I have been through rough times over this past year. The doctors don't know what is going on and it has taken a lot out of me. My strength has gotten me through it all. Actually on Tuesday the 20Th, It was my one year anniversary of my first seizure it really made me think.
I think writing essay's about this certain topics help. It really makes other people think. Plus if writing about something you really believe in you can become a strong writer from this topic. It's cool to see what people write about because each person is different and reading these stories can really open up you eye about this big world.

Introduction
I expect to learn something new. I would like to learn something new because, it always seems like through out all of high school, I have learned stuff over and over. Like last year I had Mr. Abbarro, and he taught us the same thing we learned in English 12 A. It's not a bad thing sometimes it can be easy, but sometimes it can get boring. I'm just hoping to learn something new.
A skill that I really want to work on this quarter is improving my writing. At times my writing can be strong. Only if its a subject that I like and I know. Otherwise my writing skills are very weak. I know that I, myself needs to work on it to. This is basically my weakness in English, I have never been a good writer all of my school career.
One essay I'm very proud of is my "This I Believe essay" from last semester. I wrote about being strong can get you through anything. I believe that because I suffer from a seizure disorder and I believe that my strength has got me through everything. I thought I wrote about what I have been through really detailed and made you see that strength really helps you. This was a very important essay for me, and I really liked it. It was one of my stronger sides.
I'm excited that we get to blog for this class. Blogging seems to really open up your eyes. I'm shy at first, but I'm glad that only our teacher will get to ready it at first. That way she can work with me to improve.
