Reflection

I really liked this project. I thought is was a very fun project for many reasons. I thought it was very creative and fun.

This project was fun for me because of many reasons. I am very skilled with the computer but I had never made a blog before so it was fun creating one. I also learned a lot about James Monroe. Before I did this project, I just thought that he was just the 5th president, but I found out he was a lot more than that. This project was also fun because it was creative just like the scrapbook project. I would look foward to more projects like this.

Overall, I really liked this project. It was fun, creative, and a great learning experience. I would love to do this again, mabye with a diffrent person. Putting yourself in someone else's shoes is a lot of fun. Despite all that I did, I think I could have done a little bit better if I didn't procrastinate a lot. In the future, I will not procrastinate and take these projects head on!

Statement of Process

I began this project first by spending the first week and Wednesdays brainstorming about how I should answer each question and other things. After that I started to post a few posts and sadly, I started to procrastinate a bit until the 2nd week of February. After that, I started to borrow some books and search some things online. I praticed writing the posts on my google docs until they were as perfect as can be. After that I posted all of them and finished.

My Life

As a boy, I didn't do much to make money because I was mainly studing law all the time. Even now, I still do not like to talk about my childhood that much. My life was a very full and busy one if I may say so. I was always into law and my country. I became many things such as governer, secretarys, and the president. During this time, I was involved in a lot of things and I made some very good friends.

Friendly Request

Today I received another letter from a person in New York. It said:

"Dear Mr. Monroe,
Hello sir, how are you doing today? As for me, I am doing fine. I was wondering if we could be friends and one day have some tea or take a stroll in the park. It would be wonderful to exchange conversations with you and I know a lot about you. I would love to be your friend because you are a very kind and smart man. You are also very popular these days and you did a lot to help you country. Since you are president, I believe you are very busy most of the time. So even if you cannot come down to New York, I would love it if we maintained a friendship via the mail. I look forward to your response.
Signed,
Sir Adam Liang"

Well, it is certain I don't get requests like these much. I would love to be his friend. In fact, I will right back as soon as possible and hopefully one day meet him in New York.
