Reflection.
I had a hard time managing my time
because I had a lot of other work to do,
such as the grammar worksheet I couldn't
do because I was absent that day.
From this experience, I learned
that one day absent can make a lot
of difficulty on some other work next time.
Like I said in the statement of process,
I had to rush at the last minute.
I think that I should finish works
that are more important first.
I will try not to do get distracted from working.

Statement of Process
I think this project was hard.
I had a hard time understanding the information I
collected and I couldn't answer the questions directly.
I had to look up all the hard words to figure it out.

I think my person didn't have a lot of informations
about him. I also had to rush at the last minute.
During this project, I did learn a lot about him
and I got to keep writing about him in some questions
without going back to the information.

Friend with Horatio Gates?
If Horatio Gates was alive, I would be friend with him.
I would like to be friends with him because he was brave enough to fight in the war.
I would like to get some courage like him; fighting for what is right and fair instead of
getting scared and being in the team where it's safer.
