End of Semester Reflection

While the semester is ending, one of my favorite classes is as well.  Here in Current Events, we learned so much about interesting topics like the legalization of marijuana, ISIS, and women’s rights. Even though other classes gave me a lot of pressure, this class was special because I learned a lot and did not overwork. I felt relaxed and interested at the same time.

         At the beginning of the year, I was considering dropping this class. I almost didn’t know anyone in the room, and I felt very awkward being in a room full of juniors. However, I got to know everyone and felt included in every discussion and activity we had as a class. For this, I only have Ms. Costales to thank. This class has the potential to be extremely boring, but her methods have made it extremely interesting and insightful. Projects like the info graphic and the woman body weren’t just regular projects; they were based on thing we don’t usually learn in school but are important to realize.

         Overall, I will miss this class. I prefer the cool, relaxing ambiance of Ms. Costales room than the stress filled one for SEE. I didn't just learn here; I made myself a better person.
