This is an essay that will always take me back to that day when we were all stuffed into the lounge at 9:00pm and told to write a 500 word essay on the Gates Foundation. I was so tired and wanted to sleep so rather than focusing on the writing component, I kind of have to admit that I focused most of my time trying to extend ways to say one thing such as adding words like “very, extremely, amazing, so” and etc. So that was embarrassing but I think I did a good job at gathering examples and information to support what I was saying. One example for this would be the part where I was describing the mosquito trap and the process they used to create the foundation

I found out last year that I have a really really good short term memory that helps me when I am studying for tests, quiz’s, projects, and assignments. So basically I study, do the work, and forget everything. (I am starting to wonder if this is my brain adapting to classroom ways?) This has helped me a lot with my tests in particular but I think thats it’s really bad ghat I just forget everything after because then I feel like I learned and did all that stuff for no reason and I think thats what makes it a weakness as well as being a strength. As I have probably talked about (or will talk about) I have very very poor time managment and creating a time line I find helps a lot with this so I still need to improve in that area for sure before I get caught in big trouble in the future. I love doing these projects rather than just tests and notes because it helps me remember so much more and that was honestly why I wanted to join Flight before highschool. I had already realized in Gr. 6 that projects worked really well for me. My biggest goal for the next half year in Humanities other than time managment would probably be increasing my writing skills.

For me, my favorite and best work in this class would have to be the Frankenstuffie
Project and the http://goo.gl/vmd0h5. I think I was able to learn alot and increase my video editing skills and expand ideas to create these to projects. You can probably tell that there is a big difference in levels and I think that this class has really helped me increase my level. I have to admit they weren’t easy assignments but they were definitely worth it!
