A Learning Experience

I learned a lot in this class. Originally I had chosen it to be among my friends but now that the quarter is getting closer to the end, I feel that I will miss my classmates and all of the laughs and videos that we shared in this Ewrt 1A class. Professor Patton has always encouraged us to be creative and has been extremely encouraging throughout the way. This class was also the very first class in which I did a presentation as a junior senator. It was really nerve-racking but the familiar faces of my classes helped encourage me. From following up the Presidential election and gaining knowledge on both sides to eventually writing our own works of literature, this year has served both as a meaningful as well as an enriching experience. I hope that my fellow classmates succeed in whatever they may choose to persue in the future and that they will never forget the good times in the Kirsch Center. Thank to all of the friends in this class!

Angelica - You were the first person I met in this class and I was relieved to find that you were such a nice person.

Angelina - You always have something to say and it's great to see you on time and well prepared each morning, you make a good role model.

Josh - You bring life to our class. The fun and excitement always begins the minute you walk into that door and I appreciate your help in our first group project in Professor Patton's class!

Allison - Thank you for your easygoing approach to friendship! I admire that!

Jenny - Always working hard, you're the hardest worker I've ever seen!

Indra - You are an exceptional actor and I hope that someday you will make it big in Hollywood!

Connie - I wish you the best of luck in Circle K and with your badmitton team!

Ted - You are a very knowledgeable man, and I can always expect your presentations to be very informational each time!

Miho - Hope you have a wonderful experience here in America with many exciting stories to tell.

Liya - Thank you for being such a wonderful classmate.

Mario - A talented director and an admirable student.

Edmond - I hope you become a rock star someday. You have a talent for writing song lyrics and there's no doubt that they will make you famous someday.

Ninva - You are a very patient presentation partner. Thank you for bringing the video of Persepolis.

Lucas - You are a very busy man, I hope you succeed in whatever you choose do in the future!

Po - Good luck man!

Sonny- I always see you smiling and your smile is very contagious!

Jonathan Yoel - You have a similar name to mine, but you do a good job of making us "Jonathans" look good. Keep up the good work and stay professional.

Rosita - You are a hard worker and it was very enriching to share a table with you.

David - Such a sophisticated man! I will do a classroom presentation in your History class soon!

Dear Jonathan,
This is one of the nicest things I have ever seen in a blog -- all the notes to individuals. I'm copying it out to show on Monday, but will also mention your blog on the class listserv so people can see their names. What a good, kind person you are. Also, I found your original collection of poems (complete with note indicating that it might be a draft, so I think that is why i put it aside). SORRY!! My BAD.
Ms. Patton
