I do not currently play any sports; however, when I was younger I played soccer. I enjoyed playing up until the point where I got smacked in the face with the soccer ball during a game. I continued that trend on into high school the closest I came to a sport was going to a game to support my school and gym class. What I did find surprising was that I loved the volleyball section of gym class, so much so that I am taking volleyball class this semester.

For a very long time I would binge watch makeup tutorials on YouTube at night before I went to sleep. One day I decided I wanted to try one of the videos I had watched. The very first look I tri d was an eyebrow tutorial. I must admit my first attempt turned out pretty bad; however, through a whole lot of practice I have gotten much better. I continued to try different looks and found that I am very good at doing makeup and it has become a passion of mine. I find myself constantly looking for new techniques to use in order to better my craft.
The MOST ridiculous lie I've ever told would be "yeah ma, I did all my homework". I remember telling my mom this whenever I wanted to go spend the night and a friend's house.

With written assignments much like this or even more complex I find that I work much more efficiently when I outline my writing. I'll usually make like a mock essay in a note book and as I type it out on the computer I'll expand further.
I went into college thinking I was a strong writer. I more often then not received pretty good feedback on essays that I had written in high school. However, I was sadly mistaken. When I got to college I received the wake up call of a lifetime, being that I almost failed my first semester English class. Now that I know that I lack the necessary skills to be this string writer I would love to be, I hope this course will allow me to grow in the lessons I learned last semester and hope to put forth in the future.
I have made several attempts in the past to become a bookworm and failed everytime. For some reason I can never get far in a book I'll read it for a couple days straight then put it down for a while forget about it and start reading a totally different book. I am currently reading two or three books and have yet to get near the middle of either of them. The last book that I read from cover to cover was "The Fault in Our Stars" I believe the only reason I was able to finish was because I would alternate between reading the book and listening to it on Audible and it really was a great book.
I use social media EVERYDAY! I don't use some as much as others but at some point during the day I will load up one even if it's just to check who watched my story on SnapChat or new makeup products being advertised on Instagram.
The most important thing for me to learn this semester outside f oanything I learn in the classroom is time management. I think that poor time magement played a role in my sucky performance last semester along with pure laziness.
My definition of a hero is someone who puts other people's needs ahead of their own.

The first time I ever failed at something I was devastated. In 5th grade I had a class called public speaking and I had never taken a course like before it so I was nervous of course. Before this class I rarely had to write papers, English class was focused more on reading rather than writing. So I learned that I needed to do a lot more work and I needed to adjust in order to pass and not only did I past I earned a 93 on my next report card.
I would rate myself a B. Although I am not a really strong writer I find that if you speak something into existence it more likely than not will come true. So from this point up until the end of the semester I will make an honest effort to become this B maybe even A writer.
