Out of the course of this semester I have gained so much knowledge and appreciation for books, people, and education. I found out that sometimes being more academically advanced does not always get you farther in life and that is why I feel like I grew so much as a person by taking this class. I was able to interact and discuss topics with classmates that I may never had with this whole school year without taking this class. I enjoyed every minute of this class and have been truly inspired by each and every one of my classmates.
On an academic level I was able to advance my writing skills, deep thinking, and collaborating my thoughts and ideas into actual projects that hopefully inspired others. I also learned the power of communication and the power of words. My classmates and my blog affected so many and for the first time I realized how powerful communication is and that we (as students) have the ability to voice our opinions anywhere and have it found by anyone. Not only did I advance in those areas, but I learned things on my own and had to work through problems and adjust to new things. One of the many great parts of this class was that I was able to interact with many people several of them being my parents. Never have I been so excited to communicate with my parents about school until this class. I wanted to share what I was doing with them, and I wanted to share the amazing work of my classmates. The ability to share those things with my parents and others has truly been an academic and personal growth for me as well as I think my parents also.
On a personal level I learned so much I am not sure where to start. One of the best parts of this class was Mrs. Olson's continuous help, inspiration, and drive she gave to each of us students. Her constant motivation and wisdom helped me to realize I wanted to change my major. If I had never taken Novels I may not have realized how much I enjoyed writing, thus not choosing this major in the first place. Another great example of why I enjoyed this class so much was the amazing lesson I learned. I feel everyone should learn this and I know if we all did there would be world peace. I learned the valuable lesson of not judging a book by its cover. I was in a class full of all different people, some who I never thought I would ever associate with. By the end of this class, these students became closer to me and I realized how much I cared for them. Their ideas inspired me and made me want to inspire others. I cannot thank you all enough for the time I was given to get to know all of you and be inspired by all of your creative minds. All in all, thank you for the past two years that I was blessed with to get to know all of you.
