Assignment #22

During the last 4 months when I first entered Comm 11 I walked in thinking "this will be one easy semester if all we're gonna discover is ourselves" but as time passed by it didn't get hard but it was a challenge on some days figuring what to write and understanding the purpose of everything we do. Mr Neuf has taught us in this class to be responsible. He won't control us, he won't call our parents to tell us we are missing this and that, at the end of the day that is our responsibility. We need to take actions for ourself, if we don't put as much effort into our writing, not care, and basically take advantage of the fact that our teacher is letting us be "free" as some people might see it.. Then you didn't really learn anything. It's like being indepedent, nobody is gonna tell you what to do, you need do it yourself in order to take a step in your life in being responsible and not just do it for the teacher but for yourself. Nobody is controlling you but yourself, you need to do what is best for you. Think about it.. If you write 3/4 sentences on every post or you have a limit on what to write that isn't learning. Most likely, you're thinking of what to write in the top of your head without thinking, analizing the whole purpose, and just writing whatever you want or feel without any limitations. As Mr Neuf said there aren't any limits in your posts, if you feel thats how much you need to write and are happy with it then leave it, if you wouldn't change anything else in your post and you feel like it's the the best to your ability then leave it. My purpose from being here and experiencing Comm 11 has changed in my attitude about the way I see things, I've learned to take more responsibility on what I have missed, catch up on things even if that takes awhile I need to do it either way because I don't know, I just feel guilty on my mom and dads behalf. All they want from me is to do good in school and if I don't put any effort, any knowledge, I feel like I'm letting them down. I don't like that feelings of dissapointing someone. By using Wiki and Blogs I think it was a great idea. It lets us express ourselves by writing what we feel on how we feel and in the future one day we could look back at this and say "what? that's what I was thinking when I was _ years old" it's cool, in my opinion. I think with learning you need to need to be willing to learn, interested and motivated. My peers have helped me with learning this year with many things. If I miss an class they would explain to me in full detail or try to explain from a perspective I would understand. In my opinion I have helped my peers with learning this year by explaining to their understanding assignments they do not really understand. This second semester has gone by quite quick and I have learned many new things about myself I don't really think about unless I write about it. It has been a great experience having Mr Neuf as one of my teachers and I wouldn't have changed it for anything else. Except, my attendance.. But I can't change that.
