Working On The Internet
Working on the internet is GREAT. Definitly a different experience from a sandard English course. This memoir class & access to other educational outlets keeps us interested in the program. Seniors become exeptionally lazy during the lastsemeter of high school. This program allows us to stay involved & still feel the freedom of being a senior.
Truthfully, I can't stand ths class!! Sorry to say but there are too many restrictions in an "internet class". The students can't even check out other web-sites for colleges or scholarships. What about those who are not fortunate enough to have the internet at home and would like to explore all the great aspects of what it has to offer? In my opinion we should be allowed to broaden our horizons through gaining knowledge & experience from the WORLD wide web and not just Mayo's web.
My worst experience in this class was when I thought all of my work had been erased from my page. I tried to continue my work but for some strange reason it was telling me that my page could not be found. My friend Matthew Alwood came to my rescue and somehow enabled my work to show. I was so thankful. That would have been been a violation of my privacy & extremely thoughtless.
So glad it didn't happen to me!!
The best thing about this class is the beauty of your own expressions. We, the students are able to completely portray our thoughts to one another. It's great to be free in that aspect but we still we endless restrictions.
I finally finished my autobiography! I never knew that it was so hard writing about myself and the people that I love. Once I started thinking seriously about my lifes events I became dedicated to finishing. It was great to look back on my life and see accomplishments of obsticles I have overcome. Funny how fulfilling remembering can be!
The only thing that is not so great about typing your work is that sometimes it gets lost. Last week I lost the work that I typed for my memoir. Mrs. Mayo encouraged me to continue and reform it when she showed it to the class. I actualy got into doing it! I was almost done and must have touched a particular key and boom...it's gone. So upset and confused as to what happened. I should get to it now!
I have revised my memoir. It is great!! I dont think that I've ever been so into doing something like I was into typing my memoir. It is about love and trying to deal with it. All of the stress and emotions experienced when you fall in love. Maybe it's because I feel so strongly about Troy (my love) and I just want the world to know that it's not all sugar and cream.
As the last days of school approach WE the seniors are quite lazy. Staying focused is a little diffcult. Working on the net is still great but the prom is coming...you know what I mean?!
Mrs. Mayo is the best but this final project to basically write about my life is crazy. Look for it soon along with my picture:)
