My goals as a sophomore writer

Going into sophomore year, I would like to be much more thorough when I write. I usually try to sum up what I am writing because I don't want my writing to bore the readers. Through experience I have come to learn that doing this is not helpful at all and I should add more details to what I write in order to improve it and keep it engaging. This will be one of my main goals since I have lost plenty of points because of the inability to provide enough detail in my writing.

Another goal of mine going into sophomore year is to become a better proofreader. After I am finished with a writing assignment, I always proofread it multiple times. Even after proofreading, there are still grammatical errors in my writing. I have tried multiple strategies including reading my writing out loud and reading it in my head several times, but none have seemed to work completely. I would like to try and become a better proofreader next year by paying attention to details and checking for punctuation errors.
