With the start of every new school year comes two important things... the good, and the bad. Personally, I classify relearning responsibility and persistency as bad. Luckily, however, come the good things about a new school year. In my opinion, English class with Mrs. Gilman is categorized under the good things. As a high school student, you are expected to hold standards and be responsible young adults. When coming into Mrs. Gilman's class, one of my reactions was that I will have to do these things this year. I can already tell that Mrs. Gilman is one of those teachers that won't put up with our "cry baby bull-crap", so I thought it best to try to stay on top of things like the warriors we will soon learn to be.

In the past six weeks, I feel I have been doing a good job of it. My second reaction of coming into the class was that I will be learning things that I actually WANT to learn... In previous similar classes, I was always bored out of my mind doing ridiculous assignments that were handed out to keep us busy. Thankfully, when I got into Mrs. Gilman's class, I realized that I will actually be learning something rather than doing time consuming activities. These six weeks have been great so far, and I look forward to keeping it this way.
