Elizabeth Logan Mrs. Hults English Period 2 23 April 2024 Reflection Speech: “Why Be Dull?” Greetings, fellow 8th graders, faculty members, parents, and guests! My name is Lizzie Logan, and I have been with the Woodcrest Christian School System since my 8th-grade year. My time here at Woodcrest Christian Middle School has been very effective in my creative life. I have learned skills that I have never even thought of, as well as learning how to pull inspiration from the Bible. The Bible (especially the Psalms) has helped me widen my creative horizons. And I am thankful to Woodcrest MS for helping me accomplish that. But it wasn't always like that. A couple of years ago, my dad taught as a Bible teacher at the Woodcrest High School and he really…show more content… And a little while after he stopped teaching, my parents decided that me and my sisters would go to Woodcrest, MS. To be honest, I didn't want to come here. I was fine staying at my old school, and I loved my friends there. But I had little choice in the matter, and sure enough, when my 8th grade year started, I would be attending Woodcrest Christian Middle School. And I didn't know it then, but I would be glad I was. Before I came to WCMS I resented my parents for making me leave behind my friends. Leaving my friends and teachers was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I didn't want to come to Woodcrest because I thought I would just be forgetting all of the memories I had made. But I was wrong. Yes, I still miss them and want so badly to be with them, but I will never forget them, or the memories that we made. The same is true for my time at Woodcrest. Even though I didn't want to come here at first, I have still made lots of friends and good memories that will never leave me. And Mrs. Gfeller’s art class has definitely been a part of that. My art class is mostly 7th graders, but that's okay. I love spending time with them in art class, they are funny and love to…show more content… I have had so much more fun here than I originally thought I would have. The art room is one of my favorite classes. It's a safe place where we can explore all of our creative skills and talents without limits. Me and my classmates have made tons of memories. Including having fun going outside occasionally to draw. As well as doing ceramics and printing. We have made so much art that reflects us and our individuality in God’s love. Mrs. Gfeller is a wonderful teacher. She is so talented and caring! She has inspired me more than anything, to love and accept others for who they are, and to show others God’s love in everything I do. I have learned so much from her just by being in her class. And not all art-related either. She has shown me how to be a loving and caring teacher, as well as a woman who showcases her beliefs in her art. She loves each one of her students so much. And that is so encouraging when you're feeling down. Mrs. Gfeller has been such a big inspiration to me. Because of her, I would like to pursue a career as an art teacher. I love art and I would love to be the person that Mrs. Gfeller was for me, and for my future students. She made such a big impact on everyone in her
