Getting to Know Me
- I play tennis. I have always loved tennis, but I joined my high school tennis team three years ago.
- I am passionate about my dog. In my free time, I enjoy walking him at the park. He is the cutest golden retriever ever!
- The most ridiculous lie I have ever told was when I was seven and I didn't want to go to school so I lied to my mom and said I had the chicken pox. I took a red marker and dotted my arms to make it seem like I had the chicken pox, but I wasn't fooling my mom. She made me go to school with the red dots all over me.
- When I write, I feel that if I have an outline my writing tends to come out better and faster. If I just sit at a computer and allow the words to flow, then it will take me longer and not be as good as I would like it to be.
- My writing experience so far has been decent. I know the basics and how to write a normal paper. In high school, I didn't get great feedback from my teachers to make my essays stronger.
- In June, I read Looking for Alaska. I loved it!
- I very rarely write on social media.
- The most important thing for me to learn this semester would definitely be how to write a strong paper and become a confident writer.
- My definition of identity would be who someone is and how they are set a part from other people.
- A problem that is important to me would be the younger generation and their dependence of technology. When I was a little kid, we played outside while this upcoming generation plays on iPads and watches TV for hours.
- As a writer, I would rate myself a B-. I second guess myself, I get writer's block, and I am indecisive. Although, I work hard and try my best.
