My first post ever.

Welcome to the first blog post I have ever written!  This blog is for my high school class, creative writing.  I've never had a blog before so this is a new and exciting thing for me to be able to write.  This blog is an introduction about myself, how I write, what I like to write, and what my strengths and weaknesses are as a writer. 

 I am 17 years old and a totally obnoxious person (then you get to know me and love me for it anyways).  I'm a junior in high school and I'm just starting to think about where I want to go to college and what I want to do with the rest of my life.  Thinking about what I'm going to do for the REST of my life is a very scary thing, I don't know what I want to spend my life doing, but I know I have to figure it out sooner rather than later.  I love to play soccer, so chances are I will make a lot of connections to it.  I love my family and my troublesome dog, Cooper.  I'm a very easy-going person, but according to my mother that can, at times, translate to being lazy.  I am lazy.  I admit that, but that doesn't mean that I don't try my hardest.  I'm also a very, hmmm, active person?  I have ADD which makes paying attention quite difficult at times and I'm usually constantly moving.  I've learned how I can work my best with this and I like to incorporate my fast life into my writing.

I don't have much experience in the realm of writing that has been read by the public, but I did have an article published in the Democrat and Chronicle.  Albeit I was in fourth grade; I'm still proud of that since I used to have trouble with writing when I was younger.  My strengths as a writer I'm not completely sure about.  I would like to assume it is how I try to hardest to create images that the reader can picture when they read my writing, I enjoy using descriptive words.  My weaknesses as a writer are my lack of fluidity and my obsession with putting the commas in the wrong places. 


My hopes for this class is that it will help me become more confident in my writing and aid me in improving my writing skills.  I can't wait to share all my improvements on this blog!
