Final Reflection

The three most important things I've learned his year is, work hard, don't doubt yourself, and be determined. I had plenty of fun in Mrs.Larson's ELA class, but one thing that I will always remember is when we would laugh and joke around saying vocabulary words and use them in a sentence to talk to one another. It was funny when Jorge and Isaiah would use the word debacle in the wrong way then Mrs.Larson would correct them. The class had its days where it had to be serious but we would always have fun no matter what. The people in that class are very funny and nice and try to help when they can. I remember the nicest thing someone did for me in that class is help me study so I wouldn't get a bad grade on my vocabulary test. Something I taught my classmates this year is to be happy and enjoy the time they have, whether they're popular or not. Life is too short to invest our time in people that don't care for our wellbeing. Just live life and don't worry about what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow. Go with the flow and everything will be okay.
    I feel like I made the biggest improvement in the way I write and annotate articles or passages. In the beginning of the year I didn't know how annotate how I do now. Now I write things down, ask questions, I think more, and it's all thanks to Mrs.Larson’s ELA class. Even though things got hard I still persevered and got through it. One thing that was challenging this year was the vocabulary because they were words I never really understood or knew what they meant. I think the best piece of writing I did this year was my “I believe” speech. I believe that is my best because that speech shows how I really am and what I'm interested in. That speech let me express my feelings and myself more than anything else I have ever done. Out of all the books I read this year I'd have to say The Giver was one of the best books I have ever read because it gave me another perspective of the world and that we should appreciate the memories we have with people no matter if we never got along with them.
    The advice I would give students in this class next year is that to work hard, have a great bond or friendship with Mrs.Larson, because even though she is strict, she is a very fun person and she's only strict because she doesn't want to see you fail. She is one of the teachers that would never give up on you no matter what.
