This summer has been a awesome experience for me. One reason is that I was able to get closer to one of my best friends Patricia. We have been friends for like six years, but we haven't really hung out that much and summer school gave us that opportunity. Another reason is that I have learned so much about a lot of things about me, the world around me, and much more than just becoming a better writer.
One of the most important things that I've learned about is my voice in this world. I have realized how important and useful it can be. Just by finding your voice and using it can make a difference... even the smallest difference can be the start of something or change something. By surfing the web about the oil spill in the Gulf has made a difference and has changed the way I think. I've learned that the oil spill isn't someones else's problem to fix, besides if everyone would think like that then we would never be able to accomplish anything.
Another thing that I'm glad that I've learned is about Change.org. I never thought that I would ever be able to get involved and sign up for things that I believe in... especially because I'm not at the age that I'm able to vote yet. I have signed some petitions that I truly believe in because I really want to see a change in certain issues. By doing that I'm to let the world hear my voice and opinions for things.
Also I have learned more about me each and every time I write. I am able to express myself more and my feelings. I feel that I'm a better writer now than two years ago. I really love to write poems and by learning how to write better it has made my poems better too. At first I thought that summer school was going to be a waste, but to my surprise it wasn't. In my opinion I think that it has made me a better person overall.
In conclusion, summer school was cool. I realized that I should and can apply myself more and there should be no excuse to why I failed in the first place. I guess that I just needed to find that out on my own.
