When to Use Real Photos of Yourself

When do you think it is appropriate for students to use real photos of themselves on their blogs and why? I think that students can use real photos of themselves on their blogs if the photo has more people than just them in it. That way someone who doesn't know you can't tell which person you are.

Writing, writing, and more writing

Now that you're writing the past 2 months, how do you think you've grown as a writer? I think I have grown by being able to express myself through my witing.
What difficulties do you face? Writing about something I'm not familiar with or don't like. Having a certain page/word number.
What do you think of your writing? I think my writing is good. I'm no expert, but when it comes to something I'm interested in, I do just fine.
What is something you're good at with writing? Writing stories and things about me.
What's something you struggle with? Explain. Writing things that don't interest me, like things other than basketball, volleyball, softball, me, and certain animals, because if I write about a something I'm familiar with, it won't take me as long to write it.

What's on my mind

There are a lot of things going through my mind right now, but one particular thing is DRAMA. People really know how to tick me off and push my buttons. I'm so fed up with everything that I don't even want to come to school anymore.

My Goals

What kind of goals do you have for yourself as the end of the semester approaches? Did you have a successful first semester? What goals will you set for yourself for second semester?

My goal is to keep my grades up. I have all A's and two B's so far for second quarter.
I had a very successful first semester. I ended with all A's and one B.
One goal I will set for second quarter is to keep my grades up. Another goal I will set is to do all my homework and hand it in on time.

Do you have any goals that you have set for yourself for school? Have been successful?
