"Forget Goofing Off"
This article is mainly about how recess has been changed in some places and is more orderly. Having an orderly recess can still be fun with games being run but it helps not have things such as bullying and bad behavior be a problem.

Writer's Autobiography

          Reading and writing has had its ups and downs for me. When I was in middle school, I used to love reading books. I was into the Goosebumps series and would read a book a week at some points. I even wrote a few fictional short stories too. But as I grew older, I started not to be into those types of things. I've actually already taken this course before and passed, but got a failing grade on the portfolio section. Being freshly out of high school I didn't take college seriously at first, which led to me not fixing my portfolio when I got the failing grade on it. But after taking a year and a half off from school and returning, I'm focused on finishing up and graduating. Taking time off helped me realize that not taking school seriously was a mistake, and how important it is to finish.  I think creative writing will work out well for me since I've done it when I was younger. Also, the idea of picking your own writing theme for each topic is great too. It will help me be able to write better because I can choose topics that I am interested in.
