Overall I feel that there are a lot of things that I would do differently, to 2 most notable listed above. Nonetheless I feel that every English jouncy is different and even if I could turn back time I would make the same mistakes, because even after all of it happened, there are lessons that these mistakes taught me that are far more valuable.

Throughout this semester I have had many things that I would do differently, notably I would change the time at which I gave YA books a try. The impact they have had on my life has been invaluable. I have learned so much about the affects of generalization, as well as stereotypes. These genre has opened me up to so many real world issues.

Another aspect of this class that I would've done differently is participation. Until I set my goals for term 2, I felt very intimidated by the idea of answering questions in class. Only after I had started answering questions did I see how easy and educational the experience was. I would definitely start answering questions a long time prior to the start of term 2.
