Dear junior,
My name is Rebekah I am an English 4 Enriched junior. I’m writing this business letter to you so that hopefully you will learn a little more about the kind of person I am.
At home, I am a laid back person. I live with my parents and my sister, Shannon who is a freshman this year at West. I also have a very large group of friends that I met from being apart of our district’s music programs. One activity we love to do together is being a part of the Marching Band. Although this seems like a very dorky activity, it actually is a very popular, fun, challenging and competitive “sport” around New York state. I think if I was not apart of this special group I would not appreciate music as seriously as I am now.
In school I am a very hard working, organized student. This year I am taking pre-calculus, Spanish, U.S. history, a forensic science class and playing the flute in a concert band and a wind ensemble. I am also apart of two honor societies. History is my favorite and strongest subjects in school. I think it is very interesting to learn about other cultures and our past. My favorite part of any class is when we have debates about past and current events.
I love to simply pick up a book and just read. I don’t usually analyze a book as I read because all I want is a good story. Mystery, adventure, and historical fiction and some historical non-fiction books are my favorite genres. Over the summer I have read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, and lately I have been reading a lot of classics such as the Sherlock Holmes and the Wizard of Oz series.
Writing does not interest me as much as reading. Writing an essay is like pulling out teeth for me. I only like writing if its a topic that I am interested in. Writing historical research essays are basically the only essays that I somewhat enjoy writing. However, since I am looking into occupation fields of historical research, I know I am going to have to learn very quickly how to love writing.
I hope that how I described myself has been interesting to you. I cannot wait to learn more about you and your interests. I am also anxious to see the fun, things that are in store for us this year!
Sincerely,
Rebekah
I think its so interesting how you play the flute. It takes a lot of time and dedication to play instruments. I cant even imagine having to learn how to read music notes. It seems like it would be a struggle to learn. I agree that the historical field would be interesting topic to study. In my opinion, writing research paper can be a source of boredom if not given an interesting historical topic to write about. Mysteries are really fun books to read. I have not read many classic books but I would like to because they are important in literature. Happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteI believe it's great that you are involved in your school. It takes hard work to become part of a honor society let alone two. My sister used to be in Marching Band when she went to school. Although I never became interested enough to join I could see all the hard work and dedication they put into each competition or performance. In my opinion mystery books are a great kind of book to read. They are so interesting and full of crazy plot twists that I have a hard time putting the book down.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are one in the same when it comes to reading and writing. I absolutely love reading, but when it comes to dissecting and pulling the story apart, I'm lost. I know how you feel about writing essays. Unless I enjoy the subject, I'm the biggest procrastinator you will ever meet, but I somehow manage to get it done. I also admire the bond you have with your friends from the marching band. It reminds me of the bonds I share with my team.
