6. I find Ashley Refreshing. (I tell her this often) She is one of the few students I have seen that works on her assignments/projects when they are assigned. She gets them done and then works on other things. I know this sounds like a “duh”, but so few students take on their school work with this kind of responsibility and attitude. She comes to class prepared and usually with a beautiful smile as well. Misty Shirk Ashley is a constant ray of sunshine in my classroom. Whenever I am Having a bad day, Ashley tries to make it brighter. She smiles and enquires on how I am doing. I appreciate that she actually cares enough to be nice and try to make others happy. She is a hard worker who never gives up and she always tries her best on everything she does. I’m proud to have Ashley in my classroom because she actually cares and has empathy for others.

10. R EFLECTION Juggling school, work, and clubs can get quite difficult sometimes. Being involved in all of these activities has taught me a lot of responsibility. I have to really manage my time and make a lot of decisions and sacrifices. I can’t be a procrastinator and put things off. I have to do the things that will benefit me the most. I’m very grateful for these opportunities because they have gotten me more ready for when I am on my own.
