Book Club Of One

Yes it really helps to talk about the reading with other peoooe who read the book, because they can help clarify something that I probably didn’t understood correctly or misunderstood.  Like this I get a way better understanding of what I read, since I read the whole chapter but I miss  parts about it for the reason that I don’t understand them fully. To be honest there was a time that I didnt read one of the chapters and the following day when we came back to class and Dr.Preston  went over it with the class and everyone was agreeing.I felt so dumb with myself for not reading the chapter. It honestly felt so bad, I felt lost and definitely it made me not want to do the same thing. So now I read the chapters so I can understand what’s going on and don’t feel dumb like that day.

ENDGAME

I want to get everything done  and prove myself that I’m capable of doing everything I propose myself. I know that so far I’ve been kinda off on my things but it’s due to the stress I’m having right now with all the testing going on and projects for other classes. But before this course ends I really want to make the most of it and accomplish what I want. This class has thought me really good things  since we get treated more like adults. Since we have time to work on our own but we manage not to make the best out of it when we should. Anyways I really want to end the school year strong and happy with myself knowing I accomplished everything I had to.
