  1. Wow, Great JOB John! I'm so glad that you learned all of these things. You did a good job, but I think that there are still things that you could improve on. For example: you could always spell check at the end of making your post, just to make sure. You could also have added your own feedback at the end, telling us of how doing this had effected your way of thinking. I still think that you did an excellent job, though. Good Job! :)
