SCHOOL'S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this class this semester. I feel that although Mrs. Chism is an online teacher, and I've never gotten the pleasure to talk to her person to person, I think she is better teacher than some of mine that I have in person, which is a huge accomplishment in my opinion. I was very scared to take an online class, seeing as this is my first, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up. Mrs. Chism has taught me so much, and I feel that I have improved throughout the duration of the course. She made it very understandable, and made it very organized and easy to keep up. I enjoyed writing our own experiences with our own topics. It made it much more pleasurable to be able to pick our own topics. Even with the blogs, I enjoyed writing them because they were my interests. I do wish that I could keep up with my blogs more, and not completely dread them. Writing "The Week in the Life of Me," was easy, and I liked writing it, but when it came to writing an article about news, I was stuck. I do not keep up with news very well, or things that are happening today, so I had to reach out and find something. Then I realized, there is news out there that interests me. I just had to find it. Once, I began writing about news that interested young girls such as myself, I could spit them out fast. I just had to get past that boring first blog post, and move on. I feel that the blog posts were just right for the length, and I loved being able to link information that pertained to the article, even videos. I feel that the blog posts made a slight difference in my writing skills, and made a huge difference in the way I viewed the world. I feel that my writing skills have always been acceptable, so I feel this was just practicing them the correct way. I do think that by having to look up credible sources for a topic to write my blog about, I learned much about different topics that were occurring in society. I think that I will continue to blog if I do have the time. I may not blog twice a week because sometimes, interesting things don't happen, but I do enjoy having followers and writing about things I love. I think this semester went amazing, and I am so glad that I decided to take this class online with Mrs. Chism. I can't believe the semester is almost up. It makes me so excited knowing that I only have ONE year left until graduation, but for now, I will just await my trip to Florida:)
