Getting to know you

English 1101

1. I’ve played both basketball and football all four years for Princeton high school, and I plan on playing football next year for Fairleigh Dickinson. I’ve been playing these two sports for an organized team since 6th grade before that I just played for fun beating my brother each and every day.
2. Not to sound too repetitive but I’m most passionate about sports whether it be watching or playing I enjoy its presence.
3. d
4. I have tried both writing an outline and “letting it flow” techniques. It seems as though when I’m writing an essay which asks for my personal opinion on a topic I can sit down and “let it flow”, but when I’m writing an analytical essay I’ve got to write an outline.
5. My writing experience has been great except for my experience with timed essays. I feel as though timing an essay has done everything but help me as a writer. This is result of the fact that because with so many essays that I have been given a restricted amount of time to complete, I do not possess the ability to write a 4-5 page essay because I can prove my point in 2-3.
6. The last book I read cover to cover was the hunger games Mocking jay. I read it over spring break before I watched the film because so many people kept telling me that the book was so much better than the movie and I had already seen the rest of the films.
7. Social media to me is a lifeline; just like eating I use it consistently every day.
8. What I feel is most important for me to learn this semester is how to complete a fully comprehensible 5 page essay without straying too far away from the topic.
9. My definition of a hero is anybody that puts the need of other before them.
10. The last time I failed hard at something would have to be sophomore year of high school, failing to make the varsity team. It taught me that when you fail at something you got to go back to the drawing board and work harder.
11. I would give myself a writing grade of a B/B- just because of my inability to stretch my ideas to meet page requirements.
