Goals for the new year and what I learned in 2018

      In 2018, I learned how to write an argumentive essay and learned about the three point thesis statement. Before I left for the break, Mr. Rease taught the class about some Rhetorical devices and how to use them. I need to work on when and how to use the devices. I hope to learn more about it and I hope to learn how to plan and start a business in my BTA(Business Technology Applications) class.

The reason why we said success is because society relates success to money. If you have a nice car, a nice house, and nice clothes people will say your successful. In addition, gold coins can not be greedy or tempt

Poem

     In class, Mr. Rease asked us to choose any object and create a poem about it. He said he will enter in a contest for a chance of winning money. I rote about a clock because time is quite strange. Happy and precious moments go by so fast while painful and sad moneys last for to long. Time never gives anyone a break.
