Of course, the basic skills of writing will be needed to even pass in your future English class.

In order to get all of the teachers to smother you with admiration, you must have the capability to persevere. Being polite never killed anyone either, so have etiquette of some kind. And finally, never ever lose confidence in your abilities to write. Insecurities caused more casualties than peace, and in the end, peace was always the goal to begin with.
