Ready to read Dr. Preston

       First day of school maybe everyone worst day or good but mine I didn’t feel anything. I felt like I never had a summer break I just felt the same. Luckily I don’t have a 1th so I get to sleep in just a little bit longer. I wasn’t excited for school I mean same old thing come sit on the seat you where assign to take out a piece of paper a pencil and write down everything the teacher saying even there personal life because that would be on the quiz. But something change something I wasn’t sure of or I thought my teacher was on something not good. I walk in my English class he actually let us sit where we wanted surprisingly but the first thing he did when the bell ring was say a bad word and right then and there I knew something was different. He kept on talking about how he not like others teacher and then he told us about his open source learning. So he gave us a chance to discuss about doing something we have never done before or choose to basic learning with paper and pencil and he just walk out. We choose  open source learning something new and maybe would be the right choice we ever made.
        The second day when jump right into our journals I don’t remember what our journal was about but I think it was about what we thought of him walking out and making us choose how we wanted to learn. The journals help us express our self and I felt it was a great way to practice our writing. On the same day we began with our blog I was amazed on how one thing can help us a lot. When I was creating my blog I felt like one of those who alway post about their life and those famous people in my first introduction I said I was going to post every week. The blog was a good way to post of what we thought about the book or what our teacher was talking about. Then came the memorizations were that’s were I had problems with and where remembering poems was a big trouble in me. I end up memorizing them well some of them but I did it. Something that’s i didn’t really like was post video I mean I didn’t want anyone to know who I was especially if I’m going to state my opinion and I might say some really offensive stuff sometimes. Those where some new challenging thing I’ve done throughout  the weeks of school and this doing now.
       The months has pass and where a point I lost it where I stop posting out doing my English work I mean I had so much in my plate thats I began to fail all my classes . I’m officially failing my math class that’s no surprise . But I was in a stage I gave up but then I kept trying and I began to do my work. There a point where I hit rock bottom I felt like I could try and even if I did I would feel happy on my work. But then thanksgiving break came and I told myself I had to pick up my pace and all that week I became happier and I came back to school better and ready to learn.
        Now I’ve change so much in the way I was in august in the beginning I would do my work and know I do my work but hardly I mean I do my work but I turn them in late.
