First Entry

My name is George and i was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I am a very big fan of the University of Oklahoma football team. I have always loved and playing a watching sports. I tried many different sports growing up. But in high school i played basketball and volleyball. My high school had the only mens volleyball team in the state. My favorite hobby is probably skiing. I have been skiing every year since i was three years old and want to continue that for the rest of my life. I am glad that my parents introduced me to skiing when i was young. I fell in love with in from the beginning. I have only been skiing in Utah but someday i hope to go other places including outside of the United States to ski. I also enjoy going sailing on my dad's boat. I also enjoy traveling around the world. I am also interested in visiting and learning about new cultures. I have had the privilege of traveling to places all around the world and planning on traveling to Cambodia and other countries in southeast Asia. I am a intended business major right now but im not sure what area. I'm interested in going into the restaurant business. My dad is in the business now and has gotten me interested in it.
I am excited about taking this English class. I want to improve my writing skills this semester. I always enjoy writing about personal experiences. I wrote a twenty page play my senior year about a personal experience in my family that i deeply enjoyed writing. I am not a big fan of poetry. I have never felt like I am good I writing poems. I enjoy writing new stories that are fictional. My father would have myself and my brother write in a journal whenever we would go on vacations. I think this is a great idea that many people should do. This will allow me ten years after a vacation somewhere around the world that I will know exactly what i did that day. I would suggest to anyone else to keep journals when they go on vacations or if you wanted to keep one everyday. I have had many other difficulties in writing besides poetry. I have not always been great with a strong finish. Sometimes I just dont know how to bring together the end of an essay. I hope that taking this class will help me develop the ability to write strong finishes.
In conclusion, I love sports especially skiing. Also unlike what many people think especially the ones from Texas, Oklahoma is a great place. I have read, understood, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus.
