Academic Highlight #1

I chose to write about this particular piece of work because it truly demonstrates my progression and success in the French language. This essay was written for the AP French 12 course, which I find myself to be enjoying very much. The essay was based on our future career goals after completing university. This topic is very relevant to all grade 12 students because we are all applying to post-secondary institutes, which will lead us to choosing our career. This essay made us take into account what are our priorities and goals in life are and how we suggest we can achieve them.

This essay, clearly written in French, allowed me to practice my writing skills. I’ve improved my writing by a great amount since the beginning of high school. The end product of this essay, which had very few errors, and its good and organized development, was 97%. I can surely say that this is the highest mark I have ever received on a French essay ever since I started writing French, back in grade 1.

Since I plan on moving back to Montreal after completing grade 12 in Vancouver, it was essential that I continue to take French class because French is a very important language in Quebec. You must be bilingual to get a job in Montreal. This essay helped me keep up my writing abilities for when I move back to Quebec and will allow me to be successful in the future.

I think what allowed me to be successful in this assignment was how I completed it. I took my time at writing and really thinking about all the French rules on grammar, punctuation, conjugation, just to name a few. I wrote a rough copy, reviewed and edited it, and then I wrote a final copy, which was almost perfect. I will try to write al of m assignments this way in order to keep receiving good marks like this one.

The biggest thing I achieved from this highlight was a boost of confidence. It led me to realize that I am excelling in French class and am doing extremely well. It gave me pride and happiness, and relief. Writing has never been my best skill, so receiving an outstanding mark like this one was especially pleasing.
