My essay writing ability is fairly good. Since the beginning of high school it has improved very much. I find that I'm able to create a thesis quite easily. I'm really good at making myself organized for the writing process. I always have a organizer for each section, then write each section, then rewrite several times until I'm happy with what I have.  I tend to struggle more with the revising part of essay writing. I don't enjoy it as much as the writing part so I tend not to work as hard on it. I tend to rely on technology a lot as well (spell check), so I don't necessarily go through my final copy (I know I should be). I also struggle with the diction of my essays and often have to stop and reword them. I have the worst time with constructing conclusions as well. I usually say all I need to in the essay so besides putting in the thesis in the conclusion, I don't know what else to put in it.
