Reflection

Samoan class reflection

In samoan class i got to learn alot of things and i also got to experience new things. well the reason why i took this class was because i needed a language credit and i wanted to learn more about my culture. This class has tought me to be myself and not care bout what others say. Like for example, before I was a very shy girl but NOT anymore because i feel comfortable around my classmates. I'm happy that I had this class because i feel like I'm at home with my brothers and sisters. I'm glad that i got to meet new people. This class has made me realize that in everything that we do we have to be unity which means come together as one. I am going to miss this class so much, it was nice learning more about my culture. I hope to come back someday.

thank you

Thank You Ms.LILLY

Lastly, I want to thank Ms.Lilly our Samoan Language class teacher for everything that she has done for me. Yes, through the storms that I went through her and Ms.Ah Sue were the ones who were there to comfort me. I also want to thank you for teahing me new things in this class because if it wasn't for you to teach the things that you teached me through out this semester i would've been one of those samoans who don't know how to speak samoan but just understand the language. Although sometimes we as students are hard head you didn't give up on us but yet you stood by our side and always remind us that you care about us thats why you yell at us and take away our free privaleges. Thank you Ms.LiLy for all that you do for us, may the good lord bless you and that you may continue to teach and reach out to those who are in need of held. You are blessed with a talent which is caring for others and hope you continue to do that. I LOVE You Ms.Lilly<3 I am going to miss youu.

Word of Encouragement

"It take courage to grow up and become who you really are"-E.e. Cummings

This quote just means that in some point of life, there will come a point in your life where you just wanna give , but its just that it takes time for us to grow up and find out who we really are.
