I wished i got to learn more about how  i can use a computer or other programs i might need to use in life.

      3. What can you recommend to improve the class?

      4. What will you always remember about this?

         What i will always remember about this class is Mr.Haymore telling to choose the right all the time. Knowing from right from wrong. I will always remember the life lessons i would hear and how to connect to that for my future. Choosing the right will give me bright future instead of doing the wrong.
