Closing Comments

Personally, I am extremely happy that I was a part of this course. Learning and experiencing how to properly write has helped me greatly. I've wanted to experience what writing means and how good writing can be achieved and I have. Writers craft has helped me to reach deeper into my creative side and I have learned a great deal about my abilities and passions that can hugely benefit me in my future.

     I haven't experienced anything wrong with the way this course was taught. It was the perfect amount of work load that kept me as a student intrigued and eager to write. Each unit was a new experience writing which kept me (sort of) focused the whole way through. The presence of technology kept everything well organized and helped me to work outside of school easily because of Google Docs

   I've suggested this course to lots of my friends and hope to see more of your students become inspired and experienced like you have done for me.

THANK YOU                                   

What is Christmas about?

   Christmas came and went. We're all sitting here taking in the aftermath of endless snow and slowly losing Christmas spirit the colder and whiter it gets. What is Christmas spirit about anyway? If I was in grade two I would say it's about the birth of Jesus Christ, but I've dismissed such fairy tales from my conscience. Growing up, Christmas for me was all about pleasing Santa and picturing what's hidden beneath the wrapping paper while creating cavities from sucking on candy-canes. The presents were great I admit, but there was also something magical about every morning rushing down with your family and taking turns opening presents. Christmas Eve was always fantastic for me as well. Some of my best memories are watching my family tease each other and getting way too drunk. 

   When I reflect on my childhood Christmas' there was always something floating in the air. A happiness that everyone shares in those moments. Something that radiates an energy out of everyone. It isn't hard for me to understand why I was so happy during Christmas. Christmas spirit in my opinion can be defined as spending time with each other. Bonding with each and every person you're spending time with. Presents, tree's, and carols I would only give half credit for, but the beauty of Christmas should be known as being with each other. Whether it's with family, friends, or strangers, Christmas is a magical kinship bonded by spirit and not blood.
