Nov Blog 3

First of all I would really like to thank you for giving me a chance to stay in your class and try to raise my grade. I really appreciate the fact that you haven't given up on me and are still helping me to become a better writer and keeping open the opportunity of success for me. My current mission is to raise my grade and to learn as much information as I can . To take advantage of the opportunities you have given me. I will try to make up any missing vocab test I have not completed and do a T.W. I didn't do. Even astonishing to myself , I have learned alot in your class. I thought we would learn very advanced things but it seems fair for the grade we are in. The only reason my grade is low is because I have alot of missing work. Before I was in your class I didn't know how to write an introduction or what were rhetorical elements or any of topics we have learned so far. What I really think that helps are the vocabulary we get and the grammar work sheets helped me in my writing.

What I like about learning in your class is how I can use what I learn and employ it on every day outside and inside school assignments. What I have personally felt is a sort of awe towards me from my family. Before my dad didn't believe I would graduate from High school since I was following the wrong steps. But now I can prove him wrong by showing him how much I can really do. Not to sound like ''hes such a good boy'' or anything but I was directing my attention towards wrong things and becoming someone I wasn't. For example another brick in the wall. I was following the norms of my race and following the steps of my heritage to becoming a ''Gangster'' Until one day I decided to break that stereotype and divert my attention towards education so my younger siblings would not follow the dark path I lay for them. Now they can follow ''Th Road Less Taken'' and follow me into the luminosity of higher education which I learned to prioritise in your class.Now I'm not only learning for my self but for my siblings as well.
PS: I really like how you include songs in your examples. I also like listening to Iron Maiden, The police, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and The rolling stones, AC/DC and my favorite Van Halen plus many more. We should analyze Another Brick in The Wall for a blog assignment. It has a lot of meaning besides the title.
