Randy Pausch, a professor for Carnegie-Mellon University, said before his passing, "The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They show up in our life for a reason--to really show us how much we want something."
Tell me in a one-paragraph response about a "brick wall" you have had in your life. What was your "brick wall"? How did you get over it? What did you learn about yourself during that time of your life.

Welcome to our classroom blog! I am so excited you have stopped by! The purpose of this blog is to enhance and encourage creative writing among the students. Each week a blog activity will be posted and each student is responsible for posting to it within that week. Each blog posting is worth 10 points unless otherwise stated and will be a part of the Communication Arts grade. I am so thrilled to be adding this component to my classroom and hope you enjoy it as well! Happy writing!
