Getting to Know Me


     Don't play any sports at the moment, use to play soccer and track and field. I stopped playing them because I would always get injuries, which wouldn't allow me to participate. 



     In my free time I like to play video games as well as draw. I play some video games on a competitive leave, and as for drawing, I love to create characters and comics.



     My junior year of highschool I told my English teacher that my cat tore up my essay. I used this lie to get to turn in a essay late, cause I hadn't started it.



     When I write I usually don't plan things out, I just come up with it as I go.

     I wouldn't call myself a good writer, I never really learned proper structure of essays in high school. In college I hope to be able to learn how to improve all aspects of my writing.

     Last thing I read was Deadpool #7. I don't read a lot of books, I mainly read comics I like being able to visually see where the story is going. This immerses me better a book without pictures.



     I really do not use any kind of social media. I occasionally use snapchat with friends however.

     What is important for me to learn this semester to to stress less on writing essays, so that I focus more on the content in my essay.

     My definition of a hero is someone that inspires people to follow in their footsteps. For example, some virtuous deed, such as donating to a worthy cause. Or one of my heros would be Steve Jobs because of the revolutions in technology he brought to the world.



     I fail often, most of the time there very small fails though. Like thinking that pizza in the cafeteria was going to be good. Then I learned that the pizza is never good in the cafeteria.

     I'd rate myself as a low B to C writer because I'm certainly not a good writer, I still have a lot to work on.
