Blog: Happiness was not what I thought it was         As humans, we often look for happiness in the wrong places or for the wrong reasons.

Every cycle for English, we have to write two different reflections relating to the topics we discuss in class. The reflections have to be on two different days, but they can be on any two days we want.
