What I learned in summer school (Essay)

       During this course of 3 weeks I learned, what a blog page was, how it works, and how it was able to be shown to other people and colleges. It is a way to create an online portfolio for your teachers and fellow classmates to see your ideas and opinions. I learned how to persuade people, and learned a little bit about my teacher Dr. Preston for example, I learned from him how he preferred pens over pencils, how he would rip out the pencil sharpener every time he got a new one placed. I learned on how he played at UCLA for basketball and how he was able to dunk which is amazing, I plan to some day being able to play for a good college too. He also talked about his grades, on how he had all A's every year of high school because he said he was a smart ass, which I wish I was too to become a scholar and to apply to a good college for example UCLA.
       
          Many of you may be  wondering why I decided to sign up for summer school. One of the reasons why I signed up, was because I wanted to become a better writer. On my free time, I enjoy reading books that are interesting to me, for example, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, that was the 1st book that I ever liked. I enjoyed my 7th grade English teacher reading it in class it made time go by faster. I feel that by going to summer school helped me to get to know the campus. As well as, meeting Dr. Preston and my basketball coach for this upcoming fall.

      While being here at summer school I learned the importance of time management. After seeing how I use my time, I decided to play more basketball then playing video games. Another thing I would like to change is to chores done and do more productive things such as reading and writing. After learning, that we spend, give and sell our time. It made me realize that you never live the same moments again. After taking this class, I feel I will be more prepared for high school this August as well being more productive with my time.

       Another thing I learned this summer was the importance of creating a blog page. It is important because all of your work gets saved and gets reviewed by our teachers and classmates. It helped me get more motivated because I could get my work done from my cell phone, computer, and any other device. This is great because if for some reason I cant make it to class I can get my work done from home and reviewed by my teacher online.

        All you can see, by coming to summer school I was able to not only learn to write, but I got to know the campus much better. Now that I feel more confident, I will be off into a great start in high school starting August. I want to thank Dr. Preston for helping me improve my writing and time management. I really enjoyed taking this summer class, overall it was a great experience.
