Getting to Know Me

I run, swim, ski and bike, but all of which are for leisure only.  I don't like organized/team sports.  

I am most passionate about video games.  I spend most of my spare time playing them or researching them online.  I do not have a specific favorite game or series, but my preferred genres are RPGs and Platformers.

The most ridiculous lie I ever told was when I was only five years old.  My parents and I were at a friends house and I sat on the coffee table.  The table collapsed and when my parents came over, I told them that a monster flipped it over.

When I write, I usually like to have an outline or concept map to organize my thoughts. 

I started learning about writing papers in second or third grade.  However, I have always preferred writing fictitious stories and scripts.

The last book I read was called Looking for Alaska.  It is about a kid who transfers to a boarding school, and befriends a zealous girl named Alaska Young.

I never write on social media.  I don't even have an account.

The most important thing I want to learn this semester is learning how to write a strong thesis statement.  I know the structure of a paper.  I just have trouble putting things into words and expanding my thoughts to support the thesis.

My definition of a hero is someone who changes someone else's life for the better.

As a writer, I rate myself B or C.  As stated before, I know how to structure a paper, but I have trouble putting my thoughts into words and expressing them on paper.
