Reflections on Week 1

I don't think there is many factors that will affect my experience or participation in this class. The only thing that isn't so great is the schedule. I have a lot of homework and several difficult classes that make this class with Mr.Ostini fun. 

The best learning experience I had was in 6th grade with my teacher Mr.Gillespie. When I was first in that class I didn't like school at all, even though I was always a good student. He taught me I had a lot more potential than what I showed. It was thanks to him and everyone in that class that I became a little more passionate about school. It was a big change for me.

I am looking forward to the point where we read novels in class. I enjoy reading and discussing what I read. I'm not really concerned about anything in this class. 

My Six Word Memoir

Check out Scarleth's post on Vine! null

When I first started to make my six word memoir I had no idea what I was doing. Then it kinda just hit me and I decided to choose these six words that mean a lot to me "This is not a good bye." Someone who is very important to me is leaving to boot camp and from there to the military. Its immensely hard trying to not see it as a goodbye, but as a see you later.
