A Bittersweet Ending
This year in blogging has been amazing. I have learned so much about my own writing and that of those around me. My writing has evolved in that I am now writing more and more on subjects that are important to me. People that I comment on and write back and forth to have made my writing stronger. I have learned what my strengths in writing are and how I can make the ones weak stronger. The more I have been blogging, I have realized that we all are improving our writing. Whether it is typing speed, accuracy, or even word count, we have all seen our writing soar into the sky.
By blogging, you are able to communicate with people all around the world. I have talked to many kids my age from countries such as Australia, India, and Portugal. Talking with these people has helped me open my eyes to problems facing our world and how even 2,000 miles away, people are just like you. This has broadened my horizons on how small the world really is. Some things on my blog that are cool are that: I’ve posted 10 posts, I have about 50 visitors on my blog, I’ve written about 34 comments, and I have used 5 widgets. My best post was on poverty and I have improved on my in depth writing but I haven’t improved on my organization which I plan to in future posts.
Lastly, blogging has given me a chance to express myself. I have noticed that my writing has become deeper and more specific. I have been writing about subjects on which I have a lot to say about and I have ideas and opinions on. If it wasn’t for blogging, my voice on topics such as recycling and poverty would not be heard. I have improved my writing and I have even made some new friends. It is important to write with a worldwide audience in mind because you want people’s feedback on your writing to help you improve. So this may not be a goodbye to blogging forever, but it sure is a bittersweet ending.
For the future of blogging, my teacher is going to have us post more assignments to our blogs. I think another competition would be nice because we are all gaining a lot from it. I think if we keep the blogs going, kids writing and skills will improve.
On the blogging score, I would give myself a 4.

Well done Fariha. A post showing lots of in depth thought into your writing skills.
Just remember, it doesn’t really have to end. Keep up your blogging and commenting – hopefully another competition will begin next year.
