The class is wonderful. You get to think outside the box when doing journals and Mr. Wheeler encourages you to think differently and go into detail. I have so many feelings for this class and for him. It’s the best class I ever took and taught me so many things just by the way it functioned. It all felt exciting, fun, and new. I’m not sure if Mr. Wheeler still does headspace in his class but if he does, he should continue doing it forever. It helped me tremendously every time I would go to his class and cool off from all the stress for ten minutes. That English class became a safe place for me and now that I don’t go there, it’s pretty hard to feel safe.
