SELF-ASSESSMENT

This will probably be the last post in my blog. This school year is about to finished and we have to leave the Tomás Breton and follow our studies in other high school. This year I have learnt a lot of new things. I think that I have improve all the skill a little and I am proud of this. The classes with Clarissa, and you, Cristina were great, you are a funny person and you want always that we participate in your classes. The project that we did are amazing, I have fun a lot doing it, I want to see the last project that I think that is about to finish.
I am very sad because I don't want to leave this high school because we have friend in other courses and next year we aren't going to see them.
In conclusion, thank you for this four year in this high school, I'm sure that as soon as we have time to come back we are going to be here to visit all our teachers...and we will be always your LITTLE BRETONIANS ❤
