My Strengths and Weaknesses as an Essay Writer

I believe that one of my weaknesses is that I have a really hard time making myself do multiple versions of an essay to make sure it's perfect. Although I usually end up with pretty high marks anyways I know I could do better if I would force myself to make multiple copies trying different voices and using different points to support my thesis. I'm also really awful at sticking to either past or present tense, I don't know how I do it but almost every time I write I wind up switching between active and passive. One of my strengths however is that I can more often than not find more points on a topic than necessary, so if I ever did change my mind about where I wanted my point of view or if I found that I couldn't make an argument very strong I could just switch it out for a different point. More often than not I find myself reading and writing essays as if I am saying them out loud so I don't think I have much of a problem with voice and I can usually make an essay flow really well unless I'm not into the topic. My biggest weakness is that if I'm not interested in the topic or whatever I'm writing about, I have a really hard time doing a good job of it because I just can't get into it. Other than those things I am pretty good at writing essays, I've always gotten good marks on them however there is always room to improve, which I am hoping to do during this course.

Ehh!

Hey there! I'm Haillee. I don't know how I'm going to find 250 words to describe myself because there really isn't a whole lot to know about me. I'm from Ingersoll, ON and I lived there until I was about ten years old, then my parents divorced and my mom and I moved to Tillsonburg which if you don't know is about a twenty minute drive down the road. We lived there and that's where I went to high school until I was fifteen then my mom moved back to Ingersoll but I stayed in Tillsonburg with my dad to finish up high school.

I really like anything that involves Marvel comics, especially Iron Man and Captain America. I've actually been to a Comic-Con in Toronto where I got to see several actors from The Walking Dead do a panel which was really cool! I never thought I would get to see a celebrity up close let alone people from my favourite show all at the same time. I like all kinds of music but my favourite band right now would have to be The Tea Party (they sound lame, I know), but their genre is actually blues-rock. I definitely recommend checking them out! Some of my favourite songs are Black Roses, The Bazzar, and Fire in the Head. Here's a link to Black Roses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApaxltS7WNI&index=5&list=PLMJ36TVgOxisfrXVE0UfMNmEANO0Dzpqd. I actually went to see them in concert last year as a birthday gift from my dad. He used to listen to them all the time when I was a kid, working on his race car in the garage (my dad is awesome, no need to remind me).

As you might know I'm interested in getting into a career with makeup for film and other forms of media, so here is a picture of me with a burn that I created for Halloween in 2014 for a haunt that my friends and I hosted.
