    Senior Portfolio

    Writing Portfolio Introduction

    Throughout high school, I have always struggled with writing essays the most. When

    coming into my senior year, I was genuinely concerned with how well I was going to do in my

    dual credit composition class, but not too long after the class began I had already started to

    become a better writer. After writing several papers and learning what my strengths and

    weaknesses are, I finally began writing quality papers that I was proud of. The three papers that I

    have included in my writing portfolio are the three best papers that I have written in high school,

    with all three of them coming from Comp II.

    The first essay in my portfolio is called “Anti-Vaxxers: A Threat to National Health”

    which is an essay about the dangers that parents who don’t vaccinate their children can bring to

    society. This essay is my highest grade for a paper ever, mainly because I had finally figured out

    how to organize my essays, and because I actually had several quality ideas because of all of the

    work and research that I put into my paper. Additionally, I had overcome my time management

    issues and turned this paper in on time, avoiding any late deductions.

    The next essay in my portfolio is called “I Spy with Millions of Eyes,” and it shows how

    today’s surveillance methods are the main cause of privacy issues in America. This was the first

    paper that I had ever written in APA format, so it is kind of like a milestone in my writing. I

    included this paper because it was one of my favorites to write, plus it is generally informational,

    so this essay is a good read.

    The last essay featured in my writing portfolio is my research paper, “Today’s Impact on

    Tomorrow.” This paper is filled with facts about how the burning of fossil fuels is detrimental to
    the Earth, and, because of the immense amount of shocking statistics, it is destined to change the

    minds of who reads it, along with how mine was changed while writing it. We were given a very

    long amount of time to write this paper, and the whole research process was very organized

    because of a past assignment that Mrs. Bazil had us do. Because of those two things, this paper

    has the most amount of work put into it, which is why I included it.

    These three papers that I have shared in my writing portfolio are the three highest grades

    I have received on any paper, all being in the middle to high 90s. It is surprising to me how my

    writing has progressed so much in such a short amount of time, but I am definitely glad that it

    happened. Admittedly, I received a 54% on the first paper that I wrote in Comp I, and that was

    really an eye-opener for me. I had finally found my weakness, and I realized that if I wanted to

    survive in this class then I was going to have to put some serious work into it. So, here I am,

    almost 8 months later, with A’s in both Comp I and Comp II all because of the effort that I put

    forward into becoming a better writing. Additionally, Mrs. Bazil helped me by pointing out the

    issues with my papers—which was almost always organization—and pointed me into the right

    direction to fix it. All in all, I am ready for any future papers that are thrown my way, and I

    believe that every new paper I write will be my “best paper.”
