Option 2

During my senior year in Mrs. Boresen’s class I have learned a lot from her. I learned things that I never knew could exist. I admit that during her class I thought that I wasn’t going to like it, and I thought that she was a mean teacher. When I really got to know her she was one of the coolest teachers I know. She was like a second mother to me. Coming into her class I expected that we were going to be writing a lot, and of course we did. I never liked writing. I thought I was really bad, and thought that when ever I wrote any essays or speeches, I thought they were really bad. I always got scared for her to read my papers. Even though I was scared for her to read my papers, I knew that she was the only one that could help me with my papers, and helped with them to make more sense.
I never had Mrs. Boresen as a teacher, but when I had her for the first time she was really nice and really funny. She got along with all her students very well. We never saw her get mad at anybody or yell at anybody. She was the nicest teacher I ever had. After awhile I got used to her. Got used to her grading and her humor, everything made sense to me in the long run. I loved having her as a teacher. So when I came into this class I expected it to be hard and not easy at all. I thought she was going to be the kind of teacher that wasn’t going to help some girl who didn’t know how to write a good paper. Being in her class made me happy, and made me successful. I have faith in myself and will always push forward to accomplish in everything that I do.

While being in her class I learned to write better and I also learned that life is tough when you don’t get your work done. You can fall behind and falling behind can be really hard for you to catch up. I learned how to be a better writer in my essays. When I was younger I didn’t know how to write a good essay. Coming into her class she showed me how to be successful and how to make my essays better, and she even helped me improve in my writing. In her class we also learned how to write essays for colleges that we wanted to go to. I never knew that she would actually help us with your college essays. I thought that college essays were papers that you had to write on your own. She helped us with a lot and I am very thankful for that, because without her help I would probably still be struggling to write good papers. I wasn’t a very smart student. Mrs. Boresen made me feel smart about myself. She also taught us that you need to have faith in your writing, and you can’t doubt yourself in what you do. We did so many writing exercises that actually helped me in become a better writer. We did transformers papers that helped us with things to get an A on our papers. Also 3 things to actually get a grade on this paper and the skills we need to learn to be successful for the paper we were writing. When I did these transformers papers it helped me with what I need to do better and how I need to use my time wisely. It gave us information on how we did on our last writing assignment. The grade that we got, and what three things challenged us as a writer, things that we needed to fix by our next assignment. We also need to turn in our work on time and good work time in class.  We also write what things that we are now good at because of this writing assignment, our past assignments or our recent ones. Being in this class helped me a lot in everything that I do and write. I know can say that I may be a better writer when I grow up. I will have a better writing style. For the students that come into Mrs. Boresen’s  class you need to know that you will have an assignment that may be a little tough for some or easy for others in the long run, it will help you.

The one assignment that I remember the most was The Secret. We watched a movie in Mrs. Boresen’s class that helped us with ourselves and with everything around us. We watched the movie “The Secret” what the movie was about is happiness and everything that you need to do to be happy, and not to be so mean, and to succeed in life. During my time in Expository writing I learned too many things to be happy after watching the movie. You may think that the movie is dumb or whatever, but if you really watch it, you will learn a lot of things to be happy.  While watching the movie “The Secret” there was many people that talked during the movie, and gave the audience advice in being happy, and being nice to others. How to care about others, and not to be selfish in everything you do.  One quote that really was brought to my attention was by Dr. Joe Vitale. His quote stated “I have bad feelings, and I have good feelings” I this quote I can say that he is right. Everybody has good feelings and bad feelings at the same time. No matter if you’re in bad mood or in a good mood, you seem to always have a bad feeling about something or a good feeling. I know the reason he picked this quote was because he has to be one of those people who have good days and who also have bad days. His quote makes a lot of sense to me.  I know that it will make a lot of sense to the people who read his quotes.
Another quote that was interesting to me was a quote by James. His quote was “Don’t delay, don’t second doubt”. His quote was awesome because I always second doubt everything that I do. I never have faith in myself or in anything that I do. I always second doubt myself and can never be happy if I doubt myself. Attract everything you acquire. You will need to know these quotes because they will help you do well in her class. After watching the movie and reading the quotes that some of these people were talking about it made me realize a lot in my writing and in my life in general.

Another quote would be by Bob Doyle. His quote stated “I get bad vibes, good emotions, gratitude, love, joy, and when I feel down my emotions change” I must say that this is one of my favorite quotes. It makes so much sense.  Everybody in life feels love at some point in there life, they also feel joy and happiness in life also. When people feel down there emotions do change. They don’t feel the same; they feel like they want to be alone. When I feel down I want to be by myself. Sometimes I want to talk to my mom or to my best friends about everything that is happening in my life, the reason why I am sad.

I learned so much in her class, and I do recommend taking her class because you can learn a lot from her. Her help is so great that you feel like a student that nothing can bring you down. Anybody can try but no matter what they do they will never bring you down. You also learn a lot form watching the movie “The Secret”
