There are many classes within EMS, each of them having their unique learning opportunities. One special one is Mr. Hawley’s World Studies class. Although this is considered one class, it is technically two. People not in this class would have the ELA teacher dedicated to their color team, but students in Mr. Hawley’s class have ELA and Social Studies with him. Generally, there is a lot to learn in this class. You can discover how to manage your time, write proper stories, and much more. For me specifically, I’ve learned a lot of things. From when to use a comma to how to conduct a proper interview, there are so many things that have a very high chance of coming to use in my future years. Through this, some things are simply more important than others. If ranked, there are a few specific ones in the top 3. For third place, it’d likely be one of his best sayings, “don’t try to swallow the apple whole, only take small bites at a time.” If you’re questioning what this means, I was too the first time he said it. What he means is don’t try to complete a piece of work all at once. Take it piece by piece and it’ll likely turn out 10 times better. If you try to do the entire assignment, or multiple assignments, at once, then you’ll just be choking up on it and won’t be able to complete it. If you take it one step at a time, even laying out a plan on when you’re going to do a specific part, it’ll be a lot easier. For second place, is simply time management. If there’s anything you learn in his class, it’s that if you waste your time, you’re going to regret it. And not in a scary way like something bad is going to happen, but your grades can seriously drop and it’ll be difficult to get all your work caught up. Finally, in the first place, the simple trait of creativity. I’m not saying I’m the most creative person, but everybody has at least something in their head that some people would never expect. Mr. Hawley has taught me how to gather my creativity, put it on paper (or type it on a screen), and publish it for all to see. Not so much creativity as recognizing one’s efforts or even one’s ability to perform adequately. Overall, Mr. Hawley teaches students a lot of things. Whether it’s just a basic assignment over a potential terrorist or some random life skill that you’d never thought you’d learn from him. If there’s any potential class you should look forward to, it’s Mr. Hawley’s.
