Final exam essay

             When I walked in to the class I was nervous not only because it was a start of my junior year but because it was a new class new teacher that I didn’t know. I walked in to the class with Denise she had already gotten this teacher so she wasn't as nervous as I was.She was telling me that you were a nice teacher and all that.I remember the class starting and you talking. What blew me away is the way you talked. I don't remember if you cussed on the first day but you did. But you also asked us how we wanted to be taught. I thought this class was going to be like all the regular boring English class but it isn't.
             In this course I have learned so much.I have learned how to be independent on myself and my work. this class has taught me to work my best and only worry about whats ahead of me not behind me. In these last four months I have seen my work go up and down.I say that because of how I first started out with my blogs and journals not being the best they could be. Later on through out the semester my journals were starting to get better and my blogs though they still need work. But as I said this class has changed me as a learner to be able to succeed in the future. It made me realize what I want to do with my future.
          During this course we have read a variety of different things. I got this quote from the article The right to your opinion. " learning your rights can also mean discovering that you do not really have the rights you think you do." This caught my attention because the whole article made a point to us that our rights that we think we have we actually don't. Its like how they say that we have the right to do what we want with our body. Yet why cant we get a piercing or a tattoo at the age we want to.Its our body why can't we. Another quote is from Richard Cory " one calm summer night he went home and put a bullet through his head." When I finished reading this it was surprising to me that the way he said is was so blunt like if it didn't even matter. That's really not the only reason towards why I liked it but it gives a certain truth to how this world is. I think that because now a days people are so fed up with life that they just want to end it I say that because I knew someone who wanted to do just that because she was sick of the world just giving her the short end of the stick she decided it would be best to end her life.I don't have a quote for this one but I wanted to mention the earth on turtles back. This book is not only a myth since it talks about how some animals are trying to bring earth from the deep part of the ocean but it has a certain meaning to it. The meaning I think it has is telling us that no matter how big or how small you are it only takes your dedication to get what you want. Since the little muskrat was the one who brought the earth from the deed sea. These were the beginning of the articles that I liked from what we have done.
            In my world of posting blogs I have wrote my favorite blog which is my big question. I say that's my favorite because its a question that I have always wanted the answer to. As far as I know we wouldn't be able to live if the marine animals and oceans didn't exist..Knowing why that is confuses me I mean the ocean really doesn't benefit us in a case of emergency we can't really drink the water since it has salt and it would just dehydrate us. My thought process in writing that is wanting to know more about my environment. This writing experience has been good I feel like I am doing better with my writing. My favorite journal would have to be when you asked us about who we would interview. I chose a Korean band because it is something I have always wondered. That question inspired me to write a lot on what I was thinking.
           I have had so many moments in this class where I love being in it. But the most memorable moment for me was when you told us a made up story that was so believable we didn’t realize you were setting us up. It was a moment like that were I didn’t mind being in your class because it made me genuinely smile and laugh. I lived that story because not only was it made up but it seemed so real that we didn’t think to question you about it. So far during this course I have enjoyed being in your class I enjoy writing and learning new things since this class is taking me through a journey I have never been through.
