Farewell

This English class taught me a lot that I did not know about English or even about life. I learned how to argue without having to scream at someone. I used to think that in order to get my point across I had to yell at someone so that I could convince them of what I was trying to prove. I learned how to make my point by using rhetoric and convincing by persuasion instead of aggression. 

I enjoyed this class very much. The fact that we sat in circles, truly helped because this way we all felt equal and we were able to converse openly. I like being able to converse openly with the class and teacher. In other classes, we cannot speak up and talk openly which really bothers me. I feel like the teacher student relationship should be open to conversation and without it it's just a boring class. When we would talk in class we would learn by just speaking to each other. In a way it is as though we taught each other along with Natasha helping us learn.

Sometimes I think how much it sucks that not all classes are like this and some teachers will just come in and teach and you will never be nothing but a number to them. I think students learn better when they feel that the teacher actually has their best intention at heart and actually take the time to learn their names. 

So farewell ENC class I will miss you all and our many arguments that I learned so much from.
