935 Words4 Pages

I am taking the Middlemarch mini-course simply because I love Mr. Leith’s teaching style, and it is his favorite book of all time. The Life Skill mini-course is the one that ties my whole SSP together because it teaches us students the small skills that every adult should know. This week, Mr. Willey taught us all about cars, and my homework is to change the tire of a car. Lastly, I decided to take IMPACT because I think that self-defense is a critical life skill for every person, especially going into
