This is Jesse Nagel, and I would love to gain many things from this years class. First, I would like to learn about one of the most ancient of cultures. It would be a privalege to learn about all the different aspects of this large country. I would also like to gain the ability to speak and write parts of the Manderin language. Where I can be able to learn all the beautiful characters and words. I dont expect to become fluent in just one year, although I do think you are probably an amazing teacher it unfortunatly is not possible. At the end of this year I would like to get about a B+. As you said before there was only one person who got an A+. So I believe with hard work and allot of effort I can reach my expectations and yours.
