Review of the year

TO review this year will take more than i can possibly write, we have learned and been through too much to just write a blog about it. Through out this year, there were many concepts we learned, and many skills we obtained to not only become physics experts but a better student in all aspects. Theres no real way to explain the skills we learned, but i will admit that at first, i really didnt understand the skills Mr. Abud was trying to teach us, but now that its been a full 180 days of his class, and ive reached the end, i now really appreciate the skills i have taken away from his class, and i hope my class mates did too. Ive changed some aspects of my work habits (its really hard to change anything about me, so i give Mr. Abud some props. Ive become more interested in the lessons i can learn, rather than the grade i get. I can learn a lot from all my classes, but they keep us worried about our "grade", not the knowledge we take home after the class, which now leads me to get a better grade, but I still don't know much about the subject. In this class, my "grade" never matter, I just paid attention every day, got involved, and learned a lot about physics. That's suppose to be the point of school anyways, right? Everything from way energy is transferred, to the gravitational pull of the moon, I felt confident about. Each and every day I would enter that class, although I may not seems super focused, I was learning something new. Being in here for 180 days, I have to say there isn't a single thing that I would change about how the class is run. Well, there is one thing. There should be a super big picture of a mantis shrimp on the board, that'd freak everybody out, and you would get a good kick out of it. Besides that, if that class continues to run they way it ran for me, these next coming generations of students will have a much different, better perspective of learning, and that's the biggest lesson I learned from this class, perspective. Thanks for a great year Mr.Abud, hopefully I will see you over the summer and you can explain to why it's (in physics terms) unsafe to drive with no doors on my jeep or something, have a great summer!
