Introduction

How's it goin'? My name is Steven, and I come all the way from Bakersfield, California. I am currently in my first year at TCU. Texas is awesome. It has been a nice change of scenery, and I am enjoying everything here. Currently I am undecided on my major, but I am leaning towards majoring in business financing, or kinesiology. I am a huge sports fan. Sports have been a part of life ever since I was born. I started playing baseball and soccer when I was three years old. My favorite sports to play are football, baseball, and basketball. I enjoy watching college football and the Los Angeles Dodgers. I really want to get into coaching football after I graduate. One of hobbies is traveling. My favorite place to go is Lake Tahoe up in northern California. I go up there every summer for about two weeks.

Writing has never been my strength in school. I'm more of a math guy. The only writing I do are emails and text message. I pretty much only write papers or essays whenever I have to. My favorite writings would have to be reviews or editorials. I like to give my opinions on issues rather than writing a research paper on some one's life. One of the reasons I dislike writing is because it seems that I always get writer's block. I have good ideas, but sometimes it takes me forever to figure a way to write down. My biggest influence on my writing was my freshmen English teacher. She really helped me to write better papers using more evidence to help support my thesis. She also helped me expand my vocabulary (which is still a little weak). I am hoping that by taking this class I can further improve my writing because I know that if I go into business, I better be ready to write.

I read and agree to the syllabus.
