This year in American studies there has been so much that we learned. So many different topics and time periods starting from the 1700s all the way to present day. So many of what we learned we could apply to real life situations and learn from the mistakes in today's world. An example of this is slavery and women's rights, there is so much from racism to gender equality that we can learn from. Furthermore the whole experience and learning how to write essays on history, making OPVLs and other things that helped me throughout the year. Furthermore I saw growth in these different skills as it wasn't a one time learn thing but rather through practice did I solidify my knowledge of OPVLs and writing solid factual essays with sufficient information. On the wall in Mr. Hoffman's room we had a quote that more or less said "in the moment you will not rise to the occasion but you will return to the practice that you have done." this will truly be quote will be truly be proven once we take the IB exam for American studies and return to the practice of OPVLs and writing informational essays. All in all this year was very fun and it had its ups and downs but I learned many life lessons that will help me on later on in life.
