Today in English our class is beginning to wrap up, and by Thursday with the handing in of our portfolios it will be over. For our portfolios we had to put in three different essays. One of the essays was our choice, and I chose to put my descriptive essay (I'm not sure that's what it was called now that I think about it). I chose this essay because I felt i accomplished describing something well, and I feel like I acquired a good grade on it the first time around.
 Now, about h portfolio in general I feel like I deserve a c or a b. I would hope for an A but I'm keeping myself more pessimistic because I can't handle disappointment very well and I know my essays are not as polished as they could be. They are a lot more polished than they were when they started though! So that's something.
 My favorite portfolio that I read is probably my group member Christine's. I read all of her essays as the year progressed and got to see the rough drafts and the finished products and can compare them, even if I didn't quite read the whole portfolio. I saw the drafts grow and change and so I feel like she definitely did self improvement and I hope she's satisfied with it.
