Reflection

Dear AP Classmates and Mrs. Day,

Today I type this blog to say not a goodbye but an extended “see you later.” Several of us have been together for over 4 years and surprisingly I’m not tired at looking at you! (Lol) We have all grown to care for and support each other and I’m not just talking about the American Way gang but also the new comers like Shemar, Sterling, and Timiki. We have had many fun moments together; we have had many struggles together. Now, we will all be walking on that stage together. We formed a big family with a variety of personalities. We have Black, Hispanic, White, athletes, nerds, chess geeks, book worms, Goth (Racheal lol), dancers, cheerleaders, and lastly Michael. (There is no one word to describe his crazy twisted pessimism.) Yet, with all these diverse personas we all came together and created great moments in room 311.

I think we can all agree that senioritis hit us and it hit us hard late junior year. This blog speaks for itself. I’m posting this on May 17^th, which means we not even in school anymore and it’s probably not going to be graded. Regardless, I’m still posting it because I wanted to and because Mrs. Day attacked me asking for her book and my blog yesterday. Anyhow, I regret letting my procrastination get in the way of many teachable moments.

Oh Mrs. Day, I just want to say that I wish you would have taught us when we still had at least 45% of juice left. We wasted so much energy on teachers who didn’t even deserve our time. You’ve taught us the ways of Mr. Mark Twain; you’ve taught us the ways of life. Thank you for using the last bit of juice left in you these past 2 years on us. (Hopefully you recharge once you go to Nashville.)

Overall, taking AP courses was a heck of a challenge. Though I do not want to sound like a cliché but it is the truth. We were never really challenged in our “honors” classes, especially not in our regular classes. It was a real challenge trying to complete the work. It was a real challenge coming to classes. (I had to go up the stairs from the 1^st floor to the 3^rd. It was always a work out getting up there. lol) We even had AP drop outs by senior year. However, I stuck around and now I’m ending the class with a C. Though that my sound awful, it sounds like an accomplishment to me because I know I became increasingly lethargic. I am going to pray I change my habits by the time I get to college.

Now I just want to give thanks to all my classmates and Mrs. Day for being part of my high school experience. 

PS. Don't be surprised if I use some of this in my speech! heheheheh
