I have enjoyed teaching you! You are a delightful class and it has been wonderful! Check back here after school is out for the awards which will be announced the first week of June. You have been an incredible class and your commitment to excellence is amazing! I love you all and am so thankful that I had the privilege of teaching you. Keep your commitment to excellence and never settle for anything less than world class!

Remember what you have learned about people: get to know the person and NEVER stereotype. People are just people everywhere although we're wrapped in different customs and habits, we all have some of the basic needs and things in our lives. Remember this in a world that seems to become more distant each day that the opportunity is with those who build bridges and make a way to do the undoable.

In the horizon project I learned a lot about sharing information over the internet. One major network for sharing information I learned about was Ozmosis. Ozmosis lets doctors share information about what they know about and get information from people. I also learned how to work with people from different places. The hyperlink to my wiki is: http://horizonproject2008.wikispaces.com/CSGK+Science_Health. This project is important. It helps teenagers learn how to work with other people from different places and learn communication and collaborating information. The highlight of the project for me was making my movie. It took a lot of work and I faced many difficulties, but in the end I got it done. I had many frustrations. My main frustrations came from the wiki. I had a lot of trouble with my partners and them not knowing what to do, or how to do it. They also didn’t know much about making their video and thought we had to do one together. I think the students helping in the project should know more about wiki pages and about the horizon project before they start working on it.
