She has opened my mind to the possibities of what I could achieve if I continue to work hard and stay focused. Ms. Synder helped me to develop my math skills a long with other things like: continue to get A's, push myself beyond my comfort zone.

This moment in class of me getting up in front of the class led me to be outspoken and have confidence in all my classes.

I'm not as shy anymore like I used to be and now I'm actually doing better in the class because I'm doing everything I need to do on time and I'm not rushing anything.

This class also helped me with work I needed to catch up on since sometimes I would wait the last minute to do it and I would get a better grade on it. It helped me with my spelling and where the comma or parenthesis goes so I understand more where it goes and when I need to put it. Next year I want to do try better in P.e and actually try better and not waste time so I don't have to do again later in my years of high school.
