Reflection on Experience
This semester I have to say it has gone by great. I have learned
a lot on Brooklyn’s past and what it represents in Americas history. The way
classes started with going on a walking tour to BHS showed me a lot. This
walking tour was a great experience because of me being new to Brooklyn and it
being my first time in Brooklyn. Learning about the past of what went on in
Brooklyn showed me how Brooklyn was looked at by historians. BHS staff has done
a great job in talking about places that bring out the history of Brooklyn. The
assignments we have had to do on Brooklyn have helped many of us into learning
and in coming more in touch with the new environment that Brooklyn is for new
people into Brooklyn. I have enjoyed looking at documents and working together
in groups. There have been many essays we have had to write and also things we
have had to investigate. But I have to say that the essay I have enjoyed the
most in doing was essay number five because of how hard I worked on it and how
I liked writing about the first place I went to when I first came to City Tech.
Writing about the Brooklyn Bridge and doing research on it got me proud of
myself. I personally believe that essay
five has been one of my best Essays written. This semester has been great in
getting everyone into becoming friends and teaching us about Brooklyn. I hope
in getting to learn even more on Brooklyn.
