My Experience

   My expiernce has been great taking english , I enjoy the subject , I'd have to say its one of my favourite subjects in school besides art class , but one of my least favourite subjects is math . I personally think english is marked the same as other subjects are marked , experiences from my lifes to explain my answers would be , when a teacher gives you a four square to show you what you should be doing and what you shouldn't being , I used to get those in every subject and they all basically said the same thing but were just talking more about the specific subject.

   In my preivous english class I achieved learning how to summarize better , I was satisfied with performance , I believe i achieved this becuase before i got taught better I was mainly retelling the story but without the ending , when my pervious teacher showed me how to summarize i was pretty good at it i was just using beggining, middle and end and make them one , I'd have to say that was one of the most enjoyables things i did in that class because I felt like I improved something i was terrible at which means i did something right.

   This year two of my mine inentions are two get better at public speaking and go above and beyond , some things to help me do this would be have the guts to just stand up infront of the class and speak also instead of doing what the instructions are , I'll do alittle more than im suposse to, one issue though with public speaking is I'm scared everyone is going to laugh at me if i mess up a word , I would like it if my teacher just told me i have to go up infront of the class before if I don't do it by myself by the end of the year , but I think it would be better if my tacher atleast waited till the middle of the semester to tell me to speak infron of the class. After high school I'd like to go to college or universaty to be a lawyer.

   Some interesting things about me is before I die I'd like to make a jello pool and swim in it , I have two kitties their names are Buddy and Pal , one of my hobbies are to write music and one of my favourite things to do is draw. Some of my friends in class are Chelesa , Sonia , Mark , Max , Trevin , their people I like to be around because they make laugh and have fun but they keep me stable in class . My friends and I like two go to the movies are walk around town. From my point of view my friends do both , some days I'm really chatty with them and get nothing done , but most days I talk with them but also get all my work done or get more then supossed to be done.

   If I were to describe my personality I would say im bubbly , funny , and energetic , one example of how my personality changes is if I'm sad/mad I get quite and concentraiting. I dont think my teacher needs to know anything else but your going to problay want me sad or mad all the time.
