My name is Karen and I would like to introduce myself to you in order for us to get to know one another and be able to converse with each other comfortably. Although we’re being introduced in a formal way and through our English teachers, I would like to have the chance to become a friend of yours aside from being acquaintances.
Outside of West, it’s always in my best interest to hang out with my friends or go to the gym whenever I can, but it’s always nice to just relax at home and enjoy some time alone once and awhile. During the summer, I did nothing but go outside swimming, or hanging out with my friends and family, and taking 3 day trips to each Toronto, Canada and New York City. I went to Chinatown to both cities and it was amazing because there aren't that many of my race in the area I live in. What’s important to me is trying my best everyday so that even if it’s just one person, I can help brighten their day just a little. Ever since junior year had started, I wanted to be more involved at West so I decided to join Key Club, Crushing Cancer Club, DECA and the Class of 2015 Board.

As a reader, I tend to read slowly and steadily but as I get more into a book, my tempo increases and I’m not able to put down the book until either my eyes become sore or I've reached the end of the novel. The best novel I have read so far would have to be Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, due to it taking romance and fantasy to whole another level. My goal as a reader is to increase my literature difficulty into books that has a stronger vocabulary and may be for an older audience. My goal as a writer is to strengthen my sentence structure and to use more of a sophisticated vocabulary range.
I enjoyed writing this and I hope we are able to find something we have mutually in common with. I hope your junior year is filled with nothing but smiles and good times.
Sincerely,
Karen
You did a lot over the summer! I wish I took that many trips. This summer I didn't take any. You also seem very involved in school and clubs. We are both in the Crushing Cancer Club! You made Business and Criminal Law seem really interesting maybe I will take it next year. We also share a lot of the same struggles and goals when it comes to reading and I hope that we can both achieve those goals.
ReplyDeleteI wish I traveled as much as you did over the summer! You and I are involved in all the same clubs, and I enjoy your company. Unlike you, my strengths as a student fall in English and Social Studies. As far as your goals as a reader, may I recommend the book Unwind by Neil Shusterman to you? It's definitely for an older audience, and I find that the literary devices are more complex. It's perfect for anyone looking to expand their vocabulary, or increase the difficulty level. I wish you luck in attaining your goals for the year, and your future.
