Honestly, I always saw myself as a weak writer. My parents immigrated from India, and I was brought up with my native language. I started pre-kindergarden without knowing much English. Throughout the years, I have sharpen my English but haven't brushed up my writing skills. The interview assignment made me realize that I am not as weak as I thought I was. All through grade school, I always excelled in my all of my courses, except English. I would get Commended Performance in other TAKS tests I would take, but I would never manage to get it for English. Ever since I started first grade, I active in UIL events. First grade until the day I graduated, I excelled in the Math events for UIL. I definitely knew there was no way I was going to be an English major. I thought I was done with English courses once I graduated. Unfortunately, it was required for my science major. In the previous semester, I did extremely well in my first Rhetoric class. I improved my writing skills, and I am still trying to find ways to improve more of my skills. Now moving onto the next sequence, I chose Rhetoric of Vietnam because I enjoy History. If I wasn't a science major, I would have been a History major. Many people find History boring, but I highly enjoyed my History courses that I have took in college. I enjoy learning about the past and comparing to how it is now in the present and what can be done for the future. I enjoyed writing papers about History through grade school, which I have competed in over seven History Fair projects throughout my life. From my hometown, I had many friends whose relatives fought in the Vietnam War. I recall one History Fair project, of the the students had brought in their relative and I was fortunate enough to meet them.
I am not the biggest fan of 8am classes. Trust me, I am one person that loves to sleep! However, this class is much different than I thought it would be and I look forward to this class to see what neat YouTube videos we will be watching. I think Kryz is being really unique, by involving everyday fun websites used towards are education. If this was a different class, I would have tried desperately to find a different time. I know this class is going to a workload throughout the semester but I feel I am ready to take this challenge. However, this class seems like it would be a great way to really sharpen up my writing skills by tweeting, blogging, and using Learning Records and NetVibes.
