A Final (or maybe not final) Thought

I know that I am no longer a part of your class, however, I enjoy reading and writing these blogs. For some reason, today I remembered them. I decided to look and see all of what you're discussing. As I read the newest blog question, I couldn't help but wish to answer it. So here, I write the following:

There are certain things in each of our lives, that we neglect to have control over. One must learn to go with the flow. There will be negative and positive times, each of which contribute to who we are-as an individual, as a culture and as a people. In simple terms, I would have to say, "Yes, I completely agree that we are who we meet (note that "meet" is not simply pass on the street, but rather one with who we engage in communication), we are what we do and we are how we feel." So, whether you know it or not, reading this now, a new part of you is being created...or maybe simply discovered!

In Mr. Wynn's English class, I learned just this-even if I didn't completely know it. Our class discussions inspired me, puzzled me and generally amazed me. Each and every one of you shared something with me-something I wasn't capable of seeing on my own. These ideas are now a part of who I am-and I thank you. I wish you all well with your "English endeavors" this year. Feel free to fill me in every once and a while.

"Love individuals not only for who they are, but for who they neglect to be."
