Dear 812 and Ms. Galang

            This past year at class 812 was memorable. I’ll remember so many things about the eighth especially ELA. I’ll take away many things from Ms. Galang’s class but there are things I’ll remember the most. For example one of the most memorable was the picture book project. That project was very memorable and horrible for me. I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to do. I ended up with an idea that seemed horrible at first but I made it work. I had everything planned out but lazy me decided to do ALL the work on the last day. I worked ALL DAY alone the day before it was due. My mom had supplied me with paper to do the picture book on but instead of seeing a stack on small papers I saw a stack on giant colorful sheets of paper. I spent the whole day making giant pictures on giant paper to figure out at the end of the day there was a stack of small papers still waiting. The amount of anger I felt when I figured out I could have finished the picture book in a smaller amount of time. Overall I’ll always remember my picture book and how its still in my locker falling apart…

            Another memorable memory I’ll take from Ms. Galang’s class is a recent one, our Romeo and Juliet play. Even though I haven’t preformed while I’m writing this I’ll remember this play. I’ve never done a project like this but since it was a first I’ll surely remember it. I’ll remember all the practice’s we had where we would mess up or fool around and I’ll remember staring at words for an hour, going over my lines. I’ll also remember our ridiculous costumes we’ve used for the play so far. Either way I’ll remember this project as the first time I preform in a play and the first time I read a book with a confusing way of wording. My hopes for reading and writing after I graduate are to keep reading challenging books, read for longer periods of times, and keep reading cool books to expand my imagination.

            Overall this year was a memorable year. Even though 812 was a crazy homeroom, it was also a cool homeroom I’ll always remember. I wish all of you the best luck in high school. I’ll miss you all but farewell for now!
