The Past Four Months

If someone were to ask me why exactly I took Writers craft, I don't exactly know what my response would be. I guess I took it thinking it would be a laid back class where we would be aloud to express our feelings and emotions through writing. To be completely honest, it wasn't exactly what I expected. Although, I really enjoyed it, I found it a lot harder than I had expected. Considering you ARE a English teacher, I guess I should've expected it. The amount of pencil corrections that appeared on my papers sometimes scared me, but hear me out when I say I did really enjoy this class. Despite the fact that I wasn't the most talented writer in the class, I am proud to say that I am extremely pleased with my work that I handed in. I feel like I have improved both as a writer and a performer.
My favourite activity that we did in this class was the memoir. I found it almost like a way of therapy. I lost my grand-maman when I was in grade 8, and I know that people say it isn't as big a deal when you lose a grandparent because they are already old- but I don't agree with that statement. She was a large part of my life, and influenced me on many choices and decisions I made. I wish that she were still here with me to see how much I've grown up and so I could hear her voice to tell me she was proud of me, like she always did. I found that activity was overall an easy write because I was writing about something that actually happened to me, making the memory so much easier to capture.
I also enjoyed the balance that we had between the units we studied. No doubt, there were some that I really didn't like. For example, the poetry unit- BUT I know that it has to be done, and I get that. I really enjoyed, The Glass Castle. It was an easy read and I loved the discussions we had in class.
Lastly, I want to thank you as a teacher for your effort that you put into this class. I'm not trying to suck up, trust me. I really do enjoy you as a teacher. I'm very lucky to have been taught by you for two classes this year. Thanks to this class, I will most likely be walking accross the stage receiving not only my diploma but my English certificate- thanks to yourself and this class.
