Dear Reader:

This semester has been one amazing semester fr me and an unforgettable one too. Eversince i came to Mrs.Eastmans class, my writing improved dramatically and i have never had so much fun in one class before. I have Mrs.Eastman in two of my hours and she is one of the best teachers ever. She is a teacher and a friend and really understands situations, but for now lets reflect back to my writing.

My very first and my hardest paper yet has been the "engineering" paper or the ten page short story that we had to write in creative writing.This paper took about three hours everyday for about ten days. It was one big pain in the butt, but even though it took so long, it was still accomplished. If i remember right, i think i got like one hundred percent on it. The story was about my life as i came to America and what my family had to go through to get here and about how much my hearing affects my life in America. This paper was really important to me because i tried very hard to finish it, and i have never in my life done or wrote something so huge before. The most i have written in any class is about three pager double spaced. I was surprised at myself for completing ten pages of story writing. Some people may think that's nothing but to me, it is a lot of writing.

The scripts, movie scripts, were almost a challange for me because i have never done anything like this before. I guess this is what creative writing is about. It is about being creative and creating new ways of writing. I am also never good at writing poems but through this class and with a little bit of help from the teacher, I can now write a decent poem. So, overall, this class has helped me extend my papers, write better poems and has also given me a little bit of an experience on how to creace or produce a movie with scripts and everything.

With much of my time not being in class and seventy-five attendance issues, I don’t know how I still managed to write as much as I did and maintain high grades. I had numerous tests and homework from each one of my classes, which was a very big problem for me. For most of my attendance issues, I was really sick and I got surgery on my stomach. It was really hard for me to recover quickly and still do homework. My time to recover suddenly became hell. There was pressure being built in my system from school and my social life. I had a lot of things to catch up on and I almost got to the point where I just wanted to give up, but I kept trying harder and harder each day. No one in any of my classes has missed that many days of school and still has diploma, its pretty crazy.

When im older and ready to retire from my mechanical engineering career, i plan on being a movie producer. With many years of writing from RIT, which is the college i plan on attending, i hope to have enough experience as a writer to write my own book about my life and also to be a movie producer after my retirement. So, be on the lookout for producer KLAUDIO HOXHA, ten time acadamy award winning movie producer and five time best selling book "1995-2073".

I know this is pretty random but everyone has to hear this story. When i was about to take my surgery, i went to my boss Dino, and asked him if i could have two weeks off from work to recover. He said that it was ok with him but he told me to ask my doctor if i could have a pap smear. For those of you who know what a pap smear is, then you will know what im talking about and for those of you who dont, well go find out! So anyways, i said allright, not nkowing what a pap smear was and i went to the doctor to ask. Dino told me that it was a procedure that cleans the stomach without even having a surgery, so i went and i asked my doctor. I said " Hey doctor, do you think i could have a quick pap smear? He looks at me with a weird face and says "excuse me?" I was like, "what, did i say something wrong?" Then my doctor explained what a pap smear was and I was really embarrased. He was laughing really hard, and i have never seen a doctor laugh before. I went back to work about two weeks after and i told Dino about what happened. He just could not stop laughing. He is a very evil person, he calls me half- ear.

Anyways, Mrs. Eastman, i LOVE YOU and im going to miss you a lot. You are truly one of my favorite teachers ever because you make everything so easy and fun for me. Other than that, i learn a lot in your class too and im really going to miss all of this. BYE
