English Class

I am taking English class and it has been a wonderful experience. There are only Summer Scholars in my class and it is great because we communicate better. My teacher is Mrs. Rocha and she is one awesome teacher. I was nervous at the beginning, not knowing how the teacher was going to be and if the class was going to be hard. When I went to my English class, I knew couple students in the room from the school I go to. I sat by them and we started to talk. The teacher arrived and right away she came in with a smile and with great spirit. It was great because instead of just sitting down and going over what we were going to be learning in the next five weeks, we did activities in class and she went into deeper meaning about things that I would never thought of. Mrs. Rocha likes the class to participate, for her their is no right answer. All she wants to hear is what you think of the topic we are going over. With the activities we have done, mostly in groups or in partners, it has brought me closer to them. We have been learning about poets and writers and in these weeks, I have learned a lot. It was a challenge as well because on the weekends, we had to write a three to four essay about our life basically, but it was difficult at times to think about yourself and what to write about. I am used to writing a page and a half in school which it made it hard, especially over the weekend, but I liked it though because I like to challenge myself. For me now, essays are easy to write. I really like this class and I hope that when I go to college, I do as well as I am in this class!
