Iceberg: 10 Obvious Facts About Myself

Predominately I enjoy writing the most, I am fond of finding the right words and arranging them in a way that expresses my point or tells a story. Chiefly I dislike the technicalities of English, mainly the stipulations of grammar. Therefore, I hope to improve upon this skill.

I can remember sitting in class, feeling eyes burning through me, dodging inquisitive glances from all sides, and anxiously awaiting the bell to ring for lunchtime. As most people know, lunch is the most dreaded part of the first day at a new school. First day of school memories are still fairly vivid for me; my father was in the JAG corps in the Army and my family moved with biannual regularity. In fact, I even attended three different high schools. While this may seem highly undesirable to some, I learned an incredible amount about myself, the world, and other people through moving that I may never have learned otherwise. What I have learned about myself and the world will without a doubt contribute to my success in life and even law

English has always been one of my favorite subjects because it allows me to use imagination and creativity while always learning something new. I constantly read and even participated in a small book club. I also began writing short stories in a journal and sharing them with others. I love being able to write whatever I may think of and turning it into something more. The passion I have for English has stuck with me for years and I have been trying to share it with others.

When I got into high school, I still loved to read, although I didn’t have as much time to read. I still tried to fit time to read in between doing homework, going to cross country practice, and spending time with my family. I went to the library when I had the chance and loved when I got to sit in bed and

For the most part, I like to write. I surprise myself sometimes when I read what I have written. Essays don’t seem to be that hard for me and most of the time comes naturally to write. Ever since I was younger, reading and writing were always my strong points in school. Math and science didn’t stand

In elementary school, I loved to read. Writing was not a big deal either due to the fact that we did not have to write four page essays. It was in first grade when I started to like reading. Reading has just been freshly introduced, considering we had only completed one year of school. My teacher always read to us and I wanted to read those books as well. Throughout elementary school I started to read Junie B. Jones books, which were my favorite. All of the books were about a first grade girl and her different adventures. I had always enjoyed reading those books. Each book had a different topic which I would always relate to in some way. Although I liked to read, I did struggle with reading comprehension which made me dislike writing as well. I hated having to read and then go and write about it. To this day, I still do not like reading comprehension, but my feelings toward reading and writing have changed.

Ever since a young age I’ve enjoyed reading. My mother even read to me while I was in the womb. When I started kindergarten I was so eager to learn how to read. After I learned how to read my reading level was always significantly higher than the others in my class. I was reading chapter books in first grade. Similarly I was very excited when I learned how to write. Ever since then I have enjoyed writing and do it in my free time. I have been told and

As a child I loved reading and writing more than anything, but as I grew older, my desire to read and write became less and less. I eventually gained that (something) back and that got me to where I am now.

I typically watch gaming videos or vlogs. If I decide to read, I will normally reread the Harry Potter series or The Perks of Being a Wallflower since they are my favorite series and book. However, if I find a new book I’m interested in, which would normally be some kind of fiction, I will most likely read it nonstop. Since games are normally time consuming, I usually play on the weekend. My favorite games are normally those that have puzzles or an interesting story line. My favorite subject is science or a branch of science, such as Earth Science. One reason is because I typically get to do some kind of lab or experiment, which allows me to learn while having more fun than if I was sitting in class copying notes from the board. The other reason is that I am always learning different things, which made it easier to stay interested than most of my classes. On the other hand, my least favorite subject is normally English. Over the past few years, I felt that most of the year consisted of reading multiple stories and then answering questions, writing reflections about them, or making connections between the

Reading is really great, but for me, I do not like writing as much as reading. Many people enjoy writing over reading, except I am complete opposite. When I sit down and read a good book, I can read for hours. Writing on the other hand, just does not come naturally. Books like, American Sniper, The Monuments Men, and Unbroken really got me interested in reading books about war and history. I like to write, if it is a topic I can write about. If I get an easy topic, that I can brainstorm great idea’s.

Hello Future me, I am writing this letter because I have to, it counts as a quiz grade, so therefore it might be eye opening or a complete disaster. Right now I am using my laptop to follow the guidelines to paragraph one while using my phone to create my sentences. I am wearing a white long sleeve Los Angeles sweater with white pants and white and red Jordans, as well as wearing my Shaderia name plate and Apple Watch. At the moment my hair is short and I always put the sides of my hair behind my ears. I feel like it’s more girly that way so I can shows off my stud earrings.

Alexie liked to read anything and everything he could. My mother is quite similar in that way. She especially likes reading about people in history, mysteries, and thrillers. A lot of things interest me, so I have a wide interest in books as well.

Reading was the new outlet for my imagination and the stories I read fascinated me. They weren’t too unlike the scripts of computer games or the own stories I came up with on my own, but books actually had the action and emotional aspects written out. And again, while my peers were reading things about growing up, things that had morals and would teach valuable lessons (I remember one book about a shoplifter who had to do community service at an animal shelter), I read real fiction: Jurassic Park, Dragonriders of Pern, Lord of the Rings… Stuff of fantasy and science-fiction that let my mind stray from reality. Stuff that kept my imagination alive while I was being forced to learn multiplication and the names of countries. Of course, my teachers encouraged me to keep reading, as long as I wasn’t doing the reading in the middle of their lectures. But it wasn’t because of their influence, however, that kept me interested in books. It was because I loved it. It put pictures into my head and made me think. So I kept reading. But even then I knew reading wasn’t enough… Yes, the stories were fascinating, but they weren’t what I wanted. Back then I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but as middle school came to a close, I found it.

Many times your hobbies and interests go beyond your personal creative world. Make a list of hobbies and interests.

As a child, my interests were more focused on reading than writing. In elementary school I fell in love with books. Initially I read simple children’s books, much like everybody else in my class, but it did not take long for my passion to drive me to read more difficult writings. Fiction books quickly became a replacement for any childhood toys. Instead of blocks or stuffed animals I would ask my parents for books. Since they were aimed at young readers, they tended to be short. I found myself going through them within days, and then soon several hours. Towards the end of elementary school I was reading series like Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. I was captivated, and reading truly opened up a whole new world for me.
