Hello Everyone,
My name is Sharif i am currently majoring in Digital Marketing. Something unique about me is that i am spontaneous. I love traveling and will find any excuse to be up in the air. When I used was a kid I read very frequently but as I’ve grown I haven’t had as much time to. My objective from this class is to improve my wording and flow when writing. The multimedia is one of my pictures as I do have my own photography & videography business.

Name: Danielle Myers

Major: Medical Laboratory Technology

To be completely honest I have a love/hate relationship with reading. When I was much younger I used to love reading, I would read anything I could get my hands on, back then I think I was reading based on my curiosity now I only read books or articles that draw my attention. I always loved writing I tend to write a lot I used it as a tool to express myself.

Throughout this course, I hope to better my writing skills and explore different writing styles.

This picture shows my love for music.

Hey everyone! My name is Rohan Tandra, and my major is Liberal Arts. One fact that I think should be known about me is that I love video games, soccer, and boxing with a passion. Growing up, although I had mixed feelings about school, I always excelled in language arts, specifically writing. I don't believe that one can fully say they have command over the English (or any) language unless they can adequately express their thoughts through literature, both in delivering and receiving said thoughts and ideas. Besides the three credits and the fact that this class is a retake for me, being that I failed last semester, I hope to gain better writing skills such as more punctuality, increased grammar, increased vocabulary, and an overarching new perspective on writing as an artform.

The multimedia element that i have chosen to represent my bio is my favorite soccer player, Rodrygo of Real Madrid FC.

Hi guys, I'm Maoko Grapatin. My major is business marketing. One fun thing about me is that I love watching movies and tv show. Whenever I have time, I feel like I'm watching something.( For the past weeks I was following the trial Johnny Depp vs Amber heard) I'm not confident about reading and writing. I've been struggled with writing especially. So what I hope is that reading and writing will be my strength. That would be great if I feel more comfortable with reading and writing. One multimedia element that represents my bio is Osaka, Japan (Since I was born and raised there).

Hey there! My name is Clara Perley, and I'm majoring in English... probably. I'm not totally sure yet. Even though I'm not totally sure what counts as "quirky" in this context, I'll go with the fact that, since my parents are both diplomats for the United States, I've lived in a lot of countries. I LOVE reading and I really like writing, but since my brain is so frazzled and fuzzy most of the time (hence the multimedia image) its hard for me to focus long enough to write the things I want to (however, I've been reading more lately, since I really miss books). I hope to practice my ability to hold myself accountable in the academic sense, since that's something I've struggled with for a LONG time.

I am majoring in Psychology. I have worked at IHOP for three years. In my free time, I like to make Tik Toks, listen to music, and hang out with my friends. I have always struggled with reading in Elementary and up to this day, I still struggle with it. I would say for writing if I put my mind to it, I can write a decent essay. What I hope to get out of this class is to improve my skills in both reading and writing.

Hi, my name is Brenda for my Major this time around, I have chosen business administration. I realized that I like business and that I am always trying to figure out ways to better and perfect my craft. Yes, you guessed it I'm that crazy lady that makes soap from home, only now I am very thankful and proud to say I will be selling my soap at the farmers market in Great Falls, Va. When I think back on what I've learned about writing and my style of reading I want to say I wasn't really the best when it came to writing, even though I have written books I don't have the heart to publish and put out there. Reading came to me almost naturally I love to read I have read many books throughout my life, and I continue to. My views on both are equally influential. the way words guide us are quite powerful in my opinion. I pray when this class is over, I can better communicate my feelings and solutions through writing in a matter that society finds fit. Now with all this being said crazy soap lady out.

My name is Gabriella Ramos but I go by Gabi. My major is criminal justice. Something fun about me is that I like to try making new recipes I see online. In high school I didn't care much for reading but as I've gotten older I learned that I just needed to choose books that kept me interested in order to be able to finish / read more, now I read pretty often. From this class I hope to gain more discipline when it comes to reading things I wouldn't necessarily choose.

My major is Environmental Science because I care about the planet. One quirky or fun thing about me is that I used to read 3 to 4 books a week in high school. When I first migrated to the US at 8 years old, my inability to read affected my self-esteem tremendously. When I started to learn how to read, I began to truly understand the power of education and the independence it brought me. Reading continues to improve my writing and my ability to connect with others. My multimedia element represents the activism  I do for the climate crisis.

I am majoring in early childhood education. I am very compassionate for poor people insomuch as  I see them then I start crying. for me developing our communication abilities goes hand in hand with improving our reading and writing skills. The more we read and write, the larger our vocabulary becomes and the more accurately and effectively we can communicate concepts to others. Improving our communication skills might also help us become a better worker or student. my biggest wishes are to become a good writer when I finish ENG 111. this pic shows that I enjoy to cook on weekend with my husband.

I'm majoring in elementary education, and I play both the Guitar and Ukulele. I've been as good as indifferent when it comes to reading and writing, I don't put in noticeably more effort than what I need to get by. The only thing I hope to attain from this class are the credits I need to continue with education and obtain my degree.

•     Hello everyone, my name is Noel Santiaguel and I am currently studying in Information systems technology so I can major in software testing.

•     One fun thing I like to do before when I was in the military was that I love to travel and sightsee. I saw many different places, learned about their culture, and also eat a lot of different types of food in that country.

•     So my history and feelings about reading and writing is that the subject is not my strong point. I am weak in writing and reading.  I am a bit slow when understanding the material.

•     What I would like to gain from this class is to build my foundation on reading and writing. Also to interpret the material better and make it my own.

•     The multimedia element that I pick is a history of the bombing on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Its very historical to see it in person.

P.S

If ever you guys go to japan, travel to a lot of places around japan and see the amazing landscape. You guys will have a blast and guys will never get bored. There is many things to do in japan. Well, that's it folks and hopefully you guys have a really great day! 😊

Currently I am majoring in Business Administration. I have been contemplating changing my major to a more specialized field, but I like to keep my options open. In my free time, I love to watch movies and game. I believe reading and writing to be a skill that is the very cornerstone of everyday communication. Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with the subject. I enjoy reading a lot and often find myself getting wrapped up in various comics or books but on the other hand, writing I find to be overwhelming. With this course I hope to gain knowledge and experience that will help me to ease my anxieties and gain confidence in the area.

The multimedia element I have chosen is a picture from one of my favorite films Spirited Away.

One fun or interesting thing about me is that I REALLY love playing games, drawing and watching anime as well👀.
