However, sometimes when I am in the midst of "doing life" I don't really know if I am making a difference. How is God using me in these computer classes? I tried to center my class around Jesus and his love for me and my students but was I accomplishing anything?
The final I gave to my seniors this year ended up being my HIGHLIGHT! I had them type a paragraph or two about what their computer class (Microsoft Word 1, 2, and 3) has taught them. I was teary eyed and speechless as I read some of their comments. I want to share some of them with you. I am so thankful that God chose to use me with these amazing students and in this capacity...Enjoy! (my words to help clarify)

This class has been very important for me for two big
reasons. Firstly, it had helped me to
have knowledge about informatics (computer) science.
Actually, everyone is suppose to known information about computer, about
how to do research on the internet, about many things at university. Informatics are up to date. Without it, a person is uneducated. I think
so, it was very nice for Director Scott and Mme Scott to introduce this course
at SBC for the students.Secondly, this class had helped me to prepare my thesis at SBC. I was very surprised for the patience of Mme Scott for helping me to format my research. I think so, without this, it would be very difficult for me to do good work in my thesis. In the same order of idea, I can say, it would be impossible for me to participate at the graduation of my promotion this year.
For this reasons, I like this class and I pray for Mme Scott, the teacher of this class and for SBC for continuing this kind of education at Port-de-Paix.

Learning how to use to manipulate a computer has always
been my goal. This computer class has helped me in a way fulfilled my dream. I
learned a lot things from this class. I can personally say that I have almost
no problem with Word for I need. I learned
work with a picture, use the ctrl and shift keys to do something faster. I many
things from Word 1, Word 2 and Word 3. I learned the basic words about computer
in Word 1. In Word 2, I learned how to crop pictures. In Word 3, I learned how to open two
different documents. Group pictures, Insert a bibliography, have an idea about
the quantity of specific words in a text, and also the way a word by another
one.
Word 3 helped me a lot with my
thesis. Without Word 3, I might a lot problem to put an end to my thesis,
especially in the format, the page cover, starting at the page 0 etc… Helped
was designed to help students improve their thesis.

The Computer Class is a special class for me, it helps me
a lot. Before I take this class, I knew a little bit about how to type or to
create things. By taking this class I become better, and I know a lot of things
I didn’t know before. Then I realize it is a good class I have ever taken. I
like this class and I like the way the professor teach us this class. Thus, I
would like to come next year to continue to take this class.

At Sonlight Bible College there is a very wonderful
computer class every Monday and Wednesday and then, lots of students gather
together to learn about computer skills. We have a beautiful and intelligent
teacher who love us so much. During this short time, we have learned many
things about computer.In Word One, we have the opportunity to know how we can turn on a computer and so many things concerning the desktop, keyboard…windows generally. In Word two, we know how to type in Mavis Beacon and sometimes, the teacher covered our hands, it’s hard to know where we have to place our finger and it’s also funny. In word three, the last one and the most important thing, we know how to write a theses and add foot notes in a text. We used to insert images, make a calendar, type with speed and very creative in our work. We can make an anniversary card and other….It’s not the end, we would to continue and know more about computer. Even though we finish at Sonlight Bible College, we will come and pursue with our studies if Mr. Scott add some other courses in the College. The technology class is very important for us.

The computer class was one the best class I have ever
done, during the five years I experienced at sonlight Bible College.
Through that class I learned: how to create a document, the position of the
fingers, how to manage the keyboard, different parts of the computer, and how to
work on word document.The computer class was very helpful and confident. The professor is very patient and kindness, she always be there to help any student and friend of us, then we will never forget this class.
Student 6
Since 2010 I have been at son light bible college
Microsoft word is one of my favorite classes that I enjoy. I remember before
taking that class, I did not know how type without looking on the screen. Now with
Madame Scott by the processes of covering my eyes, I type by knowing the
position of each word. Madame Scott I am so proud of you. You have done all that you can to help us knowing every things in Word. I wish next year I will be there to continue studying, enjoying excel with you. May God in grace face shines upon you, May he walks beside you and blesses you, your family

This class is part of my favorite class at SBC. There,
without it my thesis paper as senior doesn’t make any sense. It is a very
helpful class, and it is also the funnest and most interesting class ever. Word
class help me on all circumstances. Sometime I feel bored, but arriving in word
class boredness goes out. We have a very good teacher, I mean good, because she
always gentle with everyone, very patient with everyone. May God continue to
cover her with more blessing. Thank you!
Student 8
Those classes were very helpful for me because I learn
many things that can help me to prepare well my notes. As teacher, you were
very patient and always ready to help those who need help. I have learned many
things that can help in two ways: first to be a better teacher and second to
have aptitude to make people understand.According to me, I think that I am ready to be a good secretary now. I want to use all those things in these ways: 1) to have good notes for my sermon 2) in the future if I will have to write a thesis, I realize I have enough to present it the way I should. Continue that way. I pray God to give you more wisdom to do that work.

Informatics’ (computer) class was a very good class for me. It help
me a lot in using Microsoft word because I learn a lot of things that I did
know how to do them before such: grouping, making my own calendar,
bibliography, create foot notes ect.... It also help me to fix some points that
usually I use without knowing exactly in what way to use them. It also help me
to increase my speed in typing and improve my English.
It was a fun class with a great professor. So, thank
you for your patience, kindness and for the good method that you used for this
class.
