Endgame

Well. It appears that the school year has ended. All these bright memories reverberate throughout my head as I write this. The feelings of relief I had after finishing an exam, the feeling of happiness I had when I spoke to my friends, the feeling of nervousness I had when the teacher called on me and I didn’t have an answer. It ended now, but I guess it also ended when this quarantine debacle started. This is my final hurrah. My final goodbye.

The Importance of Saying Goodbye to Your Students in Times of ...

Walking into English class gave me this sense of comfort. I could choose who I sat next to, but also had the chance to interact with other people. It was fun. Mr. T was always interactive and very social with his students. It was a great class, and no, not an English class. It was a humanitarian class. The year started out rough because I was put in a table in which I had very little knowledge of everyone. However as time passed and we did group activities, our bonds grew. I finally felt comfortable. Yeah there was also this presentation in which one of members struggled, but I think we pulled through in the end. The movies we watched were some of the greatest of all time. I loved The Seven Samurai and Spirited Away. Combined with the grilled cheese, it was like I was at home watching movies with my own family. That was great. Presentations were also (usually) a joy. Students were able to show off their impressive slide design skills and improve on their public speaking. Sure, sometimes it was a little nerve-racking, but looking back, I only have good memories. I was lucky to be in Theriault’s class. He is a great teacher who clearly cares for his students. He always considers the student’s health and safety before grades and work. I never felt overloaded from his class. I appreciate him, and I’m pretty sure my classmates do too. It’s going to be quite sad next year once I destroy myself with work, but at least I can look back to this year and smile. I appreciated everyone in my class and especially Mr. T. Goodbye. Sayonara. Adios.
