An Awesome Experience.!

 For Me There Is Nothing That Is Going To Affect My Participation In This Class, I Have All The Support From Both My Parents & Family. My Best Learning Experience Was My First Day Of School I Learned That You Can Overcome Anything; Shyness, Being Nervous, Worries, Etc. By Stepping Up. I Was On My Way To School, I Would Share These Feelings With My Friends. When The Days Pasty By Got To Know Were I Was Settled And I No Longer Worried Cause I Knew I Was Gonna Do Fine. I Knew What Was Happening Cause I Noticed Every Year It Was The Same. And This Made Me Change The Way I See Things To Not Just Let Myself Get Trapped In Me And Let Out My Taughts. In This Class Im Excited On How Far I Can Let Out Ideas To Changing Even The Littelest Things. I Hope To Overcome My Shyness This Year. And This Way It Will Give Me More Opportunities In Life.!
