Hi, my name is James Miller. All my friends and family call
me Tre, but you can call me whatever you choose. I’m a Biology major, and
business management minor. I’m actually a sophomore here at ISU, and am
retaking this class for a better grade. I hope that its better the second time
around but I have a feeling I’m better off not getting my hopes up. I love to
play sports, and lift. Im a huge Derrick Rose and Bulls fan, and I am
definitely all about the north side when it comes to baseball. Music also plays
a major role in my life. I probably have one of the most dynamic I-tunes
libraries out of most people I know. As I said this is my second time taking
the course, so I already have a good idea of what the course is about. I am
hoping that the projects and assignments aren’t all the same. I am hoping to
gain skills and better my writing abilities. What hurt me the most the first
time I took this class was my organization. At the end of the course we were
required to turn in a portfolio. I hadn’t kept all of my projects saved and it
really killed me when it came time to turn everything in. This semester I plan
on keeping everything very organized and try to stay a step ahead of the game
rather then 3 steps behind. I am fairly comfortable with my writing, but I tend
to try to squeeze to much in, and cram my writing together. Im hoping to work
on this and put together better, more organized, papers that are easier to
read. I tend to find myself wondering all over the page when it comes to
reading. When I do this I notice it’s extremely to retain the information. I’m
hoping that by learning how to identify different genres I’ll become a better
reader. Overall, I am excited for the semester and hope that I come out of this
class a better reader/writer.
