Go to your blog and write the last message of the year. I want you to go back and read through what you have written from the beginning. Then, write about how you feel about your first year in high school, and whether you changed since last September. Also, write about what you look forward to next year. By the way, I really encourage you to continue writing in your blog even though you’re not taking my class anymore. It’s a great way to record your life, and maybe some day you’ll turn your blog into a movie.

In September I was so much different. I used to look forward to going to school and I actually did my work. Now I look at my grades and well ... they suck! I really wish I would've done better this year. I read my first blog and I was the most random person talking about who I like and stuff. Half of that has changed because I can't stand my old best friend Missy and now my best friends are Alex, Lilly, Katherine, Jessica and Sara. I had some fun times this year like having FAKE riots and tackling people on the grass. Next year I look forward to teaching all the younger teens how to handle situations and stuff. Plus, I'll have all my friends again!!!
