Final Thank You

I attended the graduation ceremony tonight. I was thinking to show appreciation to my instructors by walking but not for my benefit since I had graduated from college once five years ago. That was my original reason of waking at the ceremony. However, it turned out very nice! I was not expecting to experience such positive result by participating graduation ceremony. I saw many of my friends and instructors at the event and they cheered me so much throughout the ceremony. I felt so well by knowing the fact that people who I know are part of my life and I did not know them prior to coming to AV two years ago. I was surrounded by familiar faces during the ceremony, and I felt the unity of whole AVC people at the event.

When I first time took classes at AVC in Fall 2008, I did not know even a single person; I did not even remember how to speak English well after being absent from the U.S. for four years. But now, I speak English much better than ever, and even right critically! (Well, I still need improvement though). Class after class, I build friendship with wonderful people including classmates and instructors. And I felt that graduation ceremony was achievement of friendship circle; hugging and shaking hands with friends and instructors after receiving the diploma was one of the best memories in the college life. I confirmed that my people at AVC became part of my life; I also became part of their life through this event. Knowledge and friendships I acquired at AVC are my treasure.

Since I noticed the importance of human relationship by living in various places in the world where I would not have lived well without my friendships, I really appreciate good human relationships. It is not exception in our English class. I really enjoyed interacting with you guys by various group activities, blogs, and discussions. Without this interaction, class would not have been as interesting as now, even though it still be informative class. I believe we need something to motivate ourselves to work hard; to me, getting responses from what I write motivated more to write rather than just writing it to be reviewed for only grading. So I thought blogging part of the class was especially cool part of the class. It was also nice because we get to know our classmates’ possibly distinct point of view which opens my eyes. Without you guys, blogging process could have been just a painful assignment. So I appreciate you guys reading my blog. This is going to be the last blog from English class; however, I am thinking to keep blogging during the summer since I will have bit more time. In order to maintain or improve my writing, I have to practice it constantly. It’s like math, or language, If I do not use it, I lose it. I will try my best to continue blogging, so I may see you guys on my blog site. Well, until then, I enjoyed having class with you guys and thank you for sharing your thought, Good luck in wherever direction you are heading. You guys proved your patience and strong mind by surviving this class. So please remember this fact when you feel weak or impossible to overcome the problem. Peace!!
