Classmate I Am Thankful For

            I would say that there are many people in seventh period philosophy that make the class enjoyable, but I would say that I am especially thankful for Chris Pieper, because he often times elects to save the class when Mr. McCarthy stumps us with a question.  I admire him, because he does not seem to fear antagonism from other classmates when he expresses his beliefs.  I also really enjoy what he has to say, because he is very articulate and he formulates very strong points.  I fear that if he were not in our class, there would be many times where we might all blankly stare at our teacher if we can’t find an answer to a philosophical question.  Along with his public speaking skills, Chris also evidently knows how to write.  I would say that I comment on his blogs as much as I do on any other person’s blog.  Lastly, I am sure he will continue to be an important part of our class and I look forward to the rest of the year.
