Teacher Talks!

I am very satisfied with my group of friends and how hard work has yielded nothing but positive results for them. This post is going out to a dear friend of mine named Evangeline Herbert.

Ever since I met Evangeline I had a  understanding that she was bound to do wonders for the world (and this is evident of that so long as she continues on this track). It has been great being a staple in your life Evangeline, and it is my hope I remain just that, congratulations from me! Also, if you could please comment a few kind words about Evangeline and her accomplishment, that would be appreciated so I could show her.

In my class, we conducted our test in order to prove or disprove the theory. We were given a sort of "memory test" as I will call it. We were shown various objects on a projector and given a minute to view the screen, than the screen was turned blank. We were instructed to r
