Surprisingly, I was placed into accelerated JAGS English 10. I thought that I deserved this position, but to my surprise this class was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I was not used to writing papers, and was definitely not used to reading so much. I, however, was lucky and had an amazing teacher. Mrs. Muckley. I often stayed after class, and even came in early to get extra help. But with her help I feel that I became extremely successful in writing, and now I feel that I am able to take even more advanced English classes. A paper that I remember was my first paper of the year which regarded the Gettysburg Address. I had no clue what I was doing, and lucky Mrs. Muckley was there for me every single step of the way. She taught me how to write a thesis, intro, body paragraph, and everything after. My first paper is my artifact, because I will forever be able to look at it, and know how far I have come as a writer over the last year.
