Introduction

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.
