It's always hard to say goodbye. So I know this is going to take me a while to write..........
Well let's start from the beginning. I still remember the first day of class, where we introduced ourselves and discovered that 98.9 percent of the class was Cuban.lol. I had to admit I reconsidered taking Tasha's class, not because of Tasha's intimidating speech because I can take the challenge, but because I didn't think I was going to like the circle time way of teaching. Yet, surprisingly, I grew to love this class. One of the main things I loved was Tasha's way of teaching and her concern for her students. Every lesson was well planned out with visuals and examples and discussions. I came from an ENC 1101 class that would only talk about baseball, or the professor's kid, and I swear I didn't learn a thing but how to make a really good recipe for Thanksgiving. But this class was different, I learned about the different styles of writing, how to persuade your audience, how to work in a group, how to research papers, I can go on and on. But most importantly I learned how to "think outside of the box" and analyzes a scenario from all perceptives. That is something I'm going to use in my future classes.In addition, Tasha's expectations of all of us really made me push myself to write the best I can write and think outside the box. In the end, it turned out for the best, because my papers were pretty good or at least received a good grade.
Well, all i am left to say is THANK YOU TASHA!!! Keep on being a great teacher, keep on inspiring students to want to learn, to want to write, and to want to give it there all. We really need more teacher like you in the world and good luck with your future students.
And to my teen mamas....I'm gonna miss you guys!!!! I H.E.A.R.T.S you!!! lol.
