This week, we tied up most of our loose ends, and we finished up our project. I'm pretty sad that this class is going to be ending. Having taken it freshman year and senior year, I feel like I've come full circle, and it makes me feel quite melancholy. I feel like this class has begun to represent my high school career, and the growth throughout. Looking at my old Weebly posts, I see how freshman Mattie saw the world, and comparing the two is quite interesting. I'd like to be able to say that I've made great progress since then, but I really am not quite sure.
This class has helped me to remember the importance of taking risks in writing. As much as I love English, it often leaves me feeling drained, and like everything I think is wrong. In this class though, there really are no wrong answers, and there are many directions one can choose to go. When one is not scared of being wrong and ridiculed, they are more likely to fearlessly explore. As a result, you are filled with the curiosity of a child, and are able to think outside the box. I'm really quite sad that this class is nearing its end. It's gone by so fast, and I wish I could have learned about every single category. I suppose I could do it individually, but I don't think it would be quite the same. It would be really neat if there was a Sci Fi club that was similar to this class, so that the learning could go on for longer than just a trimester.
