Final Grade in English
“ How could I get a ‘f’ in English? Mr. Romero, I thought you were my friend!” That’s probably the process you’ll go through come report card time. One student you won’t be hearing that from is I. I disserve an A in your class because I work hard, I try my best, and I think about my grades while doing the work that’s going to get me my grades.
I disserve an A in your English class firstly because I am a very hard worker. Every assignment we get I work REAL hard on. I think I’ve done a good job so far. You can actually tell when I’m hard at work too. One main sign of me working hard is when I’m quiet. Another sign is when I ignore everyone and everything around me that I feel will affect my work and me.
Another reason an A seems like a good grade for me is that I try my best. I try to complete all assignments at every chance I get. I also try to understand the work I do. And I have to try not to get distracted. Even when my friends are talking to me I try not to get distracted. One other thing that I try my best on is my essay. I put a lot of thought into my essays when I write them.
Last but defiantly not least; I really should get an A because I think of my grades while doing the work that’s going to get me my grade. Every essay, class assignment, or discussion we’ve had I thought of my grade. I want A’s so I have to work for that A. It really helps a lot because it usually works
In conclusion I disserve an A in English because I work really hard, I try really hard, and I think of my grades before I get them. I really think I disserve an A in your class as you can see. I hope you take this essay into consideration.

BIOGRAPHYY REPORT: James Langston Hughes
Biography by Andrew P. Jackson
Langston Hughes was born February 1, 1902 in Joplin, Missouri. He was born to an abolitionist family. He started writing poetry in the eighth grade. His father wanted him to be an engineer, but Langston didn’t want to. He soon dropped out of engineering school and continued to write poetry.
Langston Hughes real name was James Langston Hughes. He was pressured by his parents to be something other than a poet. His father thought it wouldn’t do him much good. He was a person who was not about to let someone control his life. James helped himself succeed. He did this by doing what he knew he was good at. He knew what he wanted to be at a young age. It was when he wrote that poem in the eighth grade. Langston prepared his future by writing more and more poems and then tried to get them published
Langston did short plays, essays, and his most famous works, poems. His contribution literature was important because so many black writers are what they are because of him. For example Toni Morrison. He also inspired people by letting them know not to listen to what other people say about them, to follow their own dream.
You all should know that my character worked hard to follow his dream. He went against all odds. It’s kind of like a Romeo and Juliet story except the love is between Langston and his love for writing. We benefit from him today because there are a lot of black writers in the world today. The most important thing Langston did in my views was going against all odds to do what he wanted to do.
My character has inspired me by letting me know that I need to follow my own dreams and not everyone else’s. One way I would like to be like his is to be famous for following my dream of modeling.
