Famous Last Words Finishing the Class

 This week was a great week to finish up with. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table was a very interesting topic and something that I have been intrigued with for many years. Young boys seem to always be interested in the Knights of the Round Table, but I never really had a chance to explore deeper into their history until this week. This class was overall a very interesting class that challenged me in many different ways from typically structured classes. The online aspect required me to keep on top of the class work instead of relying on the instructor talking about assignments during class time. I also love to read, so getting the opportunity to read all of these different fables and tales was super fun and expanded my typical genres that I read. The project was very daunting at first, but I grew to enjoy building on my site after initially got it all set up. It was also very interesting to read everyone else's projects and get to interact with other people in the class. This helped to make the class feel very involved despite it being completely online. I also really enjoyed how involved professor Gibbs was with all of our projects. I felt like she was really trying to help me succeed in the class.

 King Arthur: (King Arthur Source)

I was really intrigued by the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table, so I decided to start with reading about King Arthur.

Merlin: (Merlin Source)

I then chose to go to the page about Merlin because he was an important figure in the tales about King Arthur. Merlin was known as an enchanter or wizard throughout most of the tales.

Round Table: (Round Table Source)

I chose to go onto the Round Table because I was interested to see what that meant. I wondered if it would be just about the Round Table itself or if it was about the knights as well. It ended up being just about the table.

I chose the Knights of the Round Table because the last page I chose was just about the table. The Knights of the Round Table are the knights that were in fellowship with King Arthur bringing this whole trail full circle.

Microfiction: Two Small Autobiography stories

I was born a larger than average baby. Before I was born, my family consisted of my mom, dad, and two sisters. I ended up being the final piece to our family. We grew up very close and are still close to this day. I believe that this is due to how my parents raised us. they instilled in us the value of family as well as Christian values to live by. This allowed us to see each other as more than just a brother or sister, but as one of God's children. I will forever be thankful for the life I grew up in. 

My early childhood can be summed in very few words. I was blessed to grow up in a house full of love, respect, and laughter.

These two stories are about my childhood and I wanted to write a 100 word story and then boil that down even smaller into a 25 word story.
