A side from my mistake, I can honestly say that I am proud of how my project turned out even with all the struggles. I know that if I hadn't made a mistake then
During my senior year I have accomplished many goals. In our senior seminar class I learned many skills. For example I’ve learned how to apply for a job, how to do a resume, how to write a business letter and a friendly letter. I have also grown up from this class. I learned things about myself, like how to
always used to struggle with my grades, but Senior Seminar class helped me prove to myself that if I put my mind into something I can actually accomplish it. I learned that I can and will be successful in life.
