The Holocaust

The Holocaust has to be one of the most horrible and tortuous things anyone has every heard about or encountered. Innocent people were killed for their religion and beliefs. From the time of Hitler is what you would call evil.
He was a negative man that made killing a regular thing. Also, during the World War 2 there was many people getting tortured around the world. This whole time period was just terrible all around. Nothing came out of this positive.
Very few if any survived and are still living witnesses of the holocaust. All you can do is think positive for yourself and be happy that you are not the person living through a time period of trial and suffering.

Thoughts on EOL Literacy

My thoughts on this test were very mixed before, but once i got into it the test just all started coming back to me. The thing that worried me the most was failing and having to retake or remediate in this classroom. However i was inspired by my teacher and her rewards so the cracking down began.
My mind suddenly woke up and hit me, my memory became a lot better, my awareness was astonishing, and after answering every question I turned back around and acted like I was taking the test all over again reviewing my answer's as if I have never seen them. This would help me out in the long run with rewards and myself in the future.
People ask me still today what they think I made on the test. My answer will remain the same until the scores come out this summer "Advanced". I will continue to use the process of reviewing back on my answers after my test as I raise the bar to the better level of test taking.

Thoughts on the End of Level Literacy Test

My thoughts on this test before i took it were very mixed and nerve racking. I have to admit that at first i was very scared because i didnt wan't to be the one in my grade that was left behind in remidiation. I continued to become scared all the way until about 8:20 a.m. All is well after thats when things started making me feel like a million bucks.
8:20 had to be one of the greatest feelings i have had in a long time, the test just all started coming back to me. Everything Mrs. Gillmore was teaching us telling us what was going to be on there was, she was right. My mind just suddenly woke up and hit me, my memory was astonishing my brain became a sponge.
After answering every question, i thought i would continue to raise the bar and look over every answer again like it was the first time i have ever seen them. The question is always asked how did you think you did my answer will continue to be the same " i scored advanced".
