John's Final Reflection

Wow.

It really is amazing that the year is over. It seems like it has gone by so fast...it's like I remember people in class asking how to take a derivative, and I feel like it was days ago...wait, that was days ago, like Monday when we reviewed. :-P.

Jokes aside, I can't express how awesome this year has been for me in Calculus. It feels like we flew right through it, and it was not as bad as some people made it out to be. Calculus is pretty easy once you get the concepts down (derivatives and integrals). It is of course taught by an amazing teacher, so I know that everyone after me will do just fine with very little effort.

I first want to congratulate and acknowledge Mrs. Brandi Robinson for being an amazing teacher. Not only did you have a baby and manage to keep your math classes running, but you also taught us so many things and prepared us so well for the AP exam. I can honestly say that I took the AP exam with absolutely no studying outside of the school day, and I'm positive I did well on it. I would not be able to say that without you, and I greatly thank you and appreciate everything you've done for me and the class especially.

Second, I want to say that I could not have done so well in Calculus without all of my classmates as well. The reason I was able to take the AP without studying is because of you guys, mainly. You guys pestered me and annoyed me and asked as many questions as you could possibly come up with, sometimes asking the same exact question without realizing it, and I thank you all for it. Through all of the explaining and answering of your questions, I was able to study almost every class period of my day. You guys have made my year successful, and I want to thank you for that. I also hope that I have helped make your year just as successful, because that would only be the fair thing :-).

Last, I want to thank Chelsea specifically. Of every classmate in Calculus, she has been the most useful to me. Whether it was her asking a million and one questions or whether it was discussing calculus problems over AIM, she helped me in a million ways, and I owe my deepest gratitude and thanks to her for all of her help. :-)

Overall, Calculus AB has been a complete success on so many levels. Not only will it get me credit hours in college, but it really has furthered my knowledge in mathematics and Calculus specifically, which is going to help my career (Engineering) in so many ways.

P.S. I just want to thank you again, B-Rob, for being an amazing teacher and mentor. I cannot fathom the words to describe how awesome you have been to me this year with all of your help and support. With that being said, I hope you understand how much I truly cherish the teachings and knowledge you have passed to me.
