    Samantha futhey took english 150 last semester and has greatly improved upon her writing skills. I believe I was stronger orally in assignment number #3 because I was able to maintain focus and engage with audience. In assignment number 5 I allowed my nerves to get to me, which caused me to jump around alot during the presentation which makes it hard for the audience to follow.
