The minute my older brother decided to come to TCU I became highly interested in coming here as well. The first time I visited, I fell in love with the people, the school, and the Fort Worth community. I can't really complain about any teachers I have had thus far. A good teacher is one who is personable, interesting, fun, and different. I have enjoyed most all of my classmates as well. I believe a good student is someone who is friendly, encouraging, and willing to get to know others.
I am looking forward to getting to know everyone through this course, in the classroom and through blogging. This is my first time to create a personal blog so I'm excited to see what it brings me! I am also eager to learn more about Major American Writers and read the various stories from these writers. I am enrolled in this class to get my last core credit out of the way but I picked this of all other literature courses because it appealed to me the most. The course description sounded very interesting and I could use a bit more knowledge on major American Writers. I am looking forward to becoming more familiar with writers such as Twain, Alcott, and Cummins.
Other than books and reading assignments from different classes, I also enjoy reading during my leisure time. I am currently reading "The Shack" bye Paul Young and encourage anyone and everyone to read it; it has been a great read so far! Along with most other girls, I also loved all of the "Twilight" books.
In school, I practice mainly business writing simply because of my major and minor. I write a ton of e-mails everyday and send hundreds of text messages every week. My business writing is more formal but it is also short and to the point where as my e-mailing and text messaging is very informal, fun, and abbreviated. Writing has never been my strongest asset but it is definitely something that I have been working on to improve.
My blog is intended to be very relaxed, fun, and free for anyone to comment on! I chose the colors, fonts, and patterns intending to allow others to feel comfortable to read my blogs and comment about anything! I intend to share my feelings about the readings with all my classmates and I am excited to hear everyone else's thoughts as well. This class will be different then the four other courses I am currently enrolled in and I am excited about the relaxed atmosphere and for participating in class discussions. I hope everybody can learn a little something from me and I can't wait to learn from Mrs. Irvin and my classmates!
I have read, understand, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus.
