1.The main sport I play is football and i have been playing it for five years.

2. I am most passionate about listening to music in my free time.

3. The most ridiculous lie I have ever told was when i was in about fourth grade I walked into the vestibule which is a small room you have to go through before you get in my house where everyone puts shoes. It was after school and i had text books in my back pack and when I turned to take my shoes off my bag broke the window. The hole was huge and i didn't want to get in trouble so i found a brick and put it in the vestibule to make it look like someone was messing with our house. Long story short the cops came but my parents eventually stopped caring and to this day they still don't know it was me.

4.When I write I always just sit and wait for the words to flow.

5. So far my writing experience has gone pretty well. What I most want to learn from this course is how to become a more fluent writer.

6. The most recent book I have read cover to cover is "Long Day's Journey Into Night"

7. I post on social media not very often but usually every couple of weeks.

8. The most important thing to learn this semester in my opinion is how to write lengthy essays without having to much trouble.

9. My definition of identity is what you are seen as by the people around you whether it be the actions you perform, the way you look, and or your personality.

10. An important issue to me would have to be racism. I have an African American girlfriend that I've been with for about ten months now. Many times when we go out in public we'll get really dirty looks from people especially the elderly. In my opinion the reason racism is ignorant is because there is only one race of humans. The only reason our skin color and other features are different is due to how close you or your ancestors live to the equator and what your surroundings are.

11.As a writer I rate myself as a C. This is because I never really have spent much time out of school trying to improve my writing. My skills could definitely use improvement.
