One day I awoke from my slumber. I realized it was May 29^th 2015. I am immortal I told myself with a hushed tone. I crawled out of my bed and sprawled to the door. I quickly got ready for school, and once there at 11:50, my teacher told me to write. So I did, and this is what came of it. Throughout the school year the most enjoyable things we did was the slam poem, twelve angry men and watching The King’s Speech. The slam poem was amazing because I was able to get some pent up frustration and sorrow out of my aching bones. It let me express myself in a way I had never known possible. Reading Twelve Angry Men was fun because it let the class let loose while also doing work. It was fun to try and speak with a German accent. Watching the King’s Speech was amazing because not only was the movie spectacular and contained one of my favorite actors of all time, Colin Firth. It gave us some time to get rid of some stress. One of the things I wish we had done better was the Road. I feel as though we did not expand enough on it and just didn’t do anything fun with it. It would have been more enjoyable had we done some sort of acting or actually show our soundtrack that we made for it. Although there are many things that I wish this year had contained, I quite enjoyed my time in your class Mrs. Harstone. Originally, I was hesitant about what English would hold, and assumed it would lack the punch I lusted for. But you were able to make the year enjoyable and I’m quite glad I was able to have a teacher such as yourself.
