Improving my writing
           
In my approach to become a good writer, I have learned a few strategies to help me along the way. Though I have improved in my writing over the last couple of years, I have flaws that I need to address in order to become a more educated and professional writer.

These are a few goals that I have set for this quarter. I want to be able to make citations that are formatted properly. Next, I want to improve on sticking to the idea of what the writing is about. Afterward, I want to learn more ways of how I can stay on topic. Most importantly, I want to be able to read my writing and not see myself repeating content over and over again.

In the past, I've used several strategies to help strengthen these weaknesses. The first is looking at examples of citations. When it comes to sticking to the Idea, I've tried using different tones that pertain to what I'm trying to accomplish in the writing. I was also taught that to stay on topic I should change the opening and closing sentences to a question and answer. In going through my paper, I've noticed by removing unnecessary words, I catch myself from repeating.

Some of these strategies I've used have worked. When I look at examples of citations, this has worked for me because the proper format is required for college students. Being effective with different tones hasn't worked for me because I'm not good at recognizing the concept of the writing. As I've turned every opening and closing sentence into a question and answer, It has worked because it makes me go back and check to see if the content is still about the topic. Having gone through and removed unnecessary parts of my writing, I've realized that this strategy has worked and has made the final result less monotonous.
I need some help with this please! its a short essay and I wanted to get some opinions!

Was this the prompt?  It sounds awkward.  Perhaps you mean: "To become a better writer, I take this approach . . ."

Cliché.

Though

Don't use "though."  It sounds amateurish and isn't efficient in this sentence.

"I have, I have" :)

Very nice and crisp and clear! :)

Don't say "several."  Use examples.  Or just get rid of this sentence.

The first

Meh, the list thing has lost its worth in this "essay." :)

Great way of saying nothing. ;)
