Letter of Introduction

     Throughout high school I took many english courses including: two honors english classes and two AP classes which I found very interesting.  When I came to Clemson I took English 103 for a general Ed.  Although english is not my strongest subject I still found the different readings and most of the writing assignments to be very intriguing.  I do enjoy writing papers on areas that interest me or different topics given, but have trouble understanding the meanings of novels.    

     My most memorable teacher and class would have to be honors english three by Mr. Fish.  He taught in a way that was easy enough for us all to understand, but still complex enough to allow us to learn in depth about every novel we read.  One exercise I found helpful in his class was listening to a different song everyday and writing a summary of what we thought the true meaning was and what point the writer was trying to make.  We read many novels in his class including works from Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Faulkner.  I enjoyed all the readings by Ernest Hemingway.  My favorite books were "A Farewell to Arms" and  "The Sun Also Rises". "The Great Gatsby" by Scott Fitzgerald was also another favorite of mine. 

The most enjoyable writings I have written came from my AP english class junior year.  I found the teacher to really take an interest in what we enjoyed and also liked to learn our strengths as a writer.  I have written several persuasive essays, descriptive essays, and only a few research papers.  When writing emails I am very straightforward and to the point or sometimes explain in more detail.  This writing comes more across as non-fictional to me.  I feel when writing emails I say the same things I would if I was in person.  The reason for taking this class is because it is recurred but I have also heard it is very interesting.  Although english is not my best subject I still would like to learn more about it.  My major hear at Clemson is Accounting.

Clemson Life

Clemson life has come and gone,

but the times will travel on and on

The Football games are always fun

with tons of laughs and good times for everyone

Lets not forget the long days of studying

or the time spent with all our best buddies

The times at Clemson will stay with me forever

as we move through our lives together
