Study skills
Dear Mrs. James,

I really enjoyed the things we did in this class in the last four weeks; my favorite thing was probably the weblog. Because I don’t think I would have learned as much about the other peers in my class, if we did not blog. I know that I shared things on there that I wouldn’t have in person and didn’t feel vulnerable. I enjoyed reading others blogs and commenting and seeing all the different opinions. I also enjoyed very much the making short poems out of the words, very fun and sometimes challenging not to try and make it all rhyme
I read, and write best when I’m by myself without any distractions with some soft music playing. I don’t have to worry about people judging me for what or how I’m learning. I also don’t get much out of reading out loud in a group because I’m thinking about not messing up and not thinking about the text I’m reading so I get done and have no clue what I just read.
I believe I have matured as a student in the fact that I know what I need to do and what I want to go to college for now (law degree to be a lawyer) and am very absorbed in it and I know I will be successful in life.
I will definitely get on the weblog now and again and blog and see if anyone else is, it should be fun to see if anyone else does.
My goals for the next year is to be in duel enrollment in high school and college and get my schooling out of the way so I can start a life for myself. I will never stop writing its one of the best ways I express my feelings and get anger out in a controlled manner, like sometimes I say things I don’t mean and all I can do is apologized but I know those words I can never take back and I just wished I could have written them down before throwing them out in resentment.
My goals for my life in 10 years are to be out of school and working in a law firm with my own home and an effective life, and helping others in need.
My past history in school; I was home schooled by my mother up until 8th grade, when I got put in foster care and went to my first high school in Norwood. It was a good environment for me to get in the routine of going to a school and I learned to love public school. At first I was terrified to go but after a week or so it was the best thing.
I know I’m smart I just need to learn to apply myself to things I know I’m good at because we only have one life to live and it will go faster than we think and I don’t want to get old knowing I didn’t achieve what I really wanted in life.
My expectations for my classes is for them to teach me what I need to know for learning and preparing for my future, and for me to take what I get and not take it for granite.
Thank you for putting your time in for this class I really enjoyed it.

Sincerely,
Mary Zipporah Wigton
