Dear Mrs. Saunders,

For my last blog, I am going to dedicate this blog to the class of Dystopian Lit. I want to thank you so much for creating this class because out of all of the classes that I have taken at Hinsdale Central, this has not only been my favorite, but one that I will continuously think of for the rest of my life and remember forever. Even though there were many times in the class that I would strongly disagree with what people were saying, this class made me realize that I am not always right, and that there are always so many opinions on every single situation, and it is important to look at them all and analyze them before creating my own opinion. It was the disagreements that made the entire class closer, and that will remind me that it is okay to speak my mind and share my opinion even if it may not be what everyone else is saying.

I believe that this class will continue to be the one that I look back upon, even many years from now, and recall the memories made not only through the coursework, but through the class itself as well. You really helped encourage the class discussions and helped everyone to speak their opinion and develop who we all are. Not many of my teachers will allow us to use the words, "prostitution whore", "ass", and all around shouting, but because you don't filter what we say (unless it's really bad), it makes each and every one of us feel comfortable and feel that we can speak our minds.

Even though I am very sad to be leaving this class, I am happy that I will be able to go on taking classes and have the knowledge and background I received from this class. Thank you so much for being such a fantastic teacher and for the patience you have for putting up with all of our antics.
