DeleteHello my fellow classmates. It has been a pleasure having you guys throughout the whole semester. You made this class really fun and easy to get through. I have my math class right before our English class so I am always in a negative mood. Thank you guys for making my negative mood into a positive mood.
ReplyDeleteHello Dr. Rivera. I owe you the biggest of thanks for the things you have done. You made writing seem easy in the beginning and throughout the semester it became easy for me. I am now confident and ready for the transition into the next class if I am fortunate enough to make it there. With that said, I learned a lot and you are a big part in that. Thank you!
Dude, it was a pleasure having you in class too. You're really funny and chill. Hope we get a chance to share a class again so you can show me your team. Just text me if you need the Environmental Bio book for next semester. Happy Holidays Nick!
DeleteYou are a pretty awesome guy, and it was an honor to be able to work with you. Goodluck Nick, and God bless.
DeleteHi guys!!! I know its a bit late, but I guess its fine.
ReplyDeleteI know I have been a bit quiet the whole semester but to be honest it was a fun time for me. You guys are awesome and I hope that we all meet again sometime or end up taking some classes together, nevertheless it was a fun semester.
And I would want to thank Dr. Rivera for helping me become a better writer.
I have improved a lot and discovered my weaknesses on writing.
Once again I Thank You.
Good Bye Guys and happy holidays
It was a great semester being your seatmate. Thank you for always sharing your book and helping me when I get stuck. Happy Holidays Jeff!
DeleteGoodluck Jeff, and happy holidays.
DeleteHeyyyy guys, this has been a wonderful semester with all of you guys. We all worked hard to be where we are right now. With everyone learning together, we actually did grow stronger and smarter with the help of Dr. Rivera. After hearing the results, English is quite intimidating but its all good. Everyone will fail eventually and the message each and everyone of us should understand is that, we shouldn't let our failures stop us from achieving great things.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it does not matter if we fail, as long as we're improving and striving to do our best. Good luck to you EJ and Happy Holidays!
DeleteEJ, there will be many downfalls in life, but you just got to get back up and face it head on. I may not know you well enough, but I can tell for a fact that you are a very reasonable and genuine person that when you set your mind to commit to something, you stick it through. Keep your head up and I guarantee that you will achieve greatness. Good luck out there and happy holidays.
DeleteHey guys, meeting everyone in class was great and I learned a bunch from everyone. I hope in the future we will meet again, although I guess we will, seeing as how we all go to the same college. Anyways, its been a great first semester at college, this experience helped me ease into the college experience rather than just throwing a bunch of work at me. It was great and I wish everyone the best in their endeavors. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!
ReplyDeleteP.S. If you want to get awesome Christmas gifts for your friends and family, come over to Primo Surf at Agana Shopping Center! I work there.
You are one of the funniest dudes I've ever met! Happy Holidays to you too Kenneth (:
DeleteI agree with Reina, you are one of the few people who succceed to humor me, not many have that characteristic. It was really cool to work with you, keep and open mind and study hard. Good luck Ken, God bless and happy holidays.
DeleteFirst off, I want to thank everyone in the class for a memorable semester and Dr. Rivera for creating a positive and motivating atmosphere for all of us. You guys are all really smart and friendly. I hope to see you guys again in my future classes and good luck to all of us! Work hard, but make sure to enjoy the journey (: Goodbye guys !
ReplyDeleteHey guys. I wanted to say that it was really great to work with you all. We have really pushed ourselves to exceed more than our usual comfort zone. I want to thank Dr. Rivera for being so patient, understanding and positive. Dr. Rivera, you are one of the best English instructors that I’ve had, although it is your job, you made it more than that, you made it your passion and I saw that in you. I wanted you to know that I appreciate you and everything you did such as offering your full attention when we needed your assistance and always having a bright smile and positive attitude. As for my fellow colleagues, you guys are the epitome of an excellent learning environment and I cannot express how grateful I am within words. We may have gotten to know each other on basic levels, but I know the effort was there. I would personally say that I would have liked to connect with you all a lot more, but hopefully in due time we will. This experience was great, gosh, it’s like the beginning of the semester was just yesterday. I hope to see you all around whether it is in the hallways, parking lots or classes so don’t be afraid to acknowledge one another. Other than that, I wish you all the best of luck in your future, happy holidays and may god bless each and every one of you. -Dan
ReplyDeletehello fellow students of EN100 as the semester draws to a close i just wanna say how relieved i am that it is finally over, from the very first moment that i have entered this class my mind set was that i could just sleep in this class and still pass but i was so damn wrong. Heading to the first major essay it made me realize that you shouldn't be taking these kinds of things for granted, always be on the top of your game and push through and it will go well. To the students whom we all shared a good laugh while participating during the in class exercises each and every one of us stuck together and persevere through the whole semester this class is an awesome fun experience and i would never trade it for anything.. good luck in all your future endeavors
ReplyDeleteHello comrades of literary arms! It was one heck of a semester. I've met whole bunch of fun, interesting people in this class. The times I have spent with you in and out of the classroom were enjoyable. I only hope for the best for all of you and your future. It was a meaningful Triton experience for all of us. Good bye EN-100-03 Fall 2014!
