English 12 Reflection

Throughout my journey in my English 12, i've had many ups and downs which caused me to take a step back, slow down and focus on what's most important. Coming into this class I thought I would be able to breeze through it ,due to the fact that we didn't have an SOL and it was virtual. My initial observation of English 12 was totally wrong, and the class ended up being a slight challenge for me; especially since then new semester began I was working 3 jobs. After all, I decided that I was too young to be stressing and that my main priority should be school. I taught myself how to stay focused and how dedicate my time to my school work, all while remaining calm. Throughout this course I enjoyed doing most of the things we did such as watching

My favorite part of English 12 was having the opportunity to read a non-fiction book, The Color of Water to be exact. As said before the book demonstrated the struggle whether is was dealing with family, financial needs or coping with society. The novel also made me feel as if I could do anything no matter the circumstances or tragedy that might have struck. In this case being able to use a variety of writing skills and techniques isn't as easy as it may seem because you may think you're doing great with your writing or analyzing but when being critiqued it may say otherwise. Furthermore, while in this course; there have been a few things I wish I could have changed. The first thing I would’ve liked to change is not having to come to school simply because this is an online course. In my opinion, I feel as if us seniors have the right to decide if we want to come or not, because if this were a college online course we probably wouldn't even know who our professor is. It's all about responsibility ! In other words, I didn't enjoy reading Macbeth , the play was interesting but way too long and that resulted in me losing focus at times. Also the modules in the course were a bit frustrating and
