           During my first year of high school, I am now a freshman and my first period class is
Ms. Garvin's World History course. Ms. Garvin attended Purdue University and is a big fan of Purdue Boilermaker. Ms. Garvin is very energetic and runs in the mornings. She keeps her students awake and make sure people answer in our class, and she is very generous towards late work. Ms. Garvin is hopefully going to be energetic and we'll have a great year.
           This year, I expect to learn about the history of our foreign countries. Currently were studying the renaissance from the 1400's and up kicking off right after the Bubonic Plaque. I hope to learn about the renaissance because I heard so much about it, but I really never done my own personal research. I hope to go onto the expansion era and study how our nation formed. Maybe even before the expansion era and what the nation had been.
           Ms. Garvin has a grading policy of 40 percent for projects, 40 perfect for tests, 10 percent on homework, and 10 percent on quizzes. I'm interested in the fact that we're going to an art museum later in the year. We are using technology frequently, mostly for presentations, and to check our homework. Our teacher even made us follow her on twitter. I hope to have a good year with Ms. Garvin and that I learn a lot about the world centuries ago.
