Hola classmates the name is Genesis but you can call me Gen. Let’s see..I was born in Southern California and lived there for 11 years until my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer (she’s still kickin) we moved to Blaine, WA so we can be closer to my sister. My sister runs an in-home childcare facility which is sort of run by all three of us. This is my first quarter at Whatcom I graduated high school in 2010, took a year off and just turned 19..thank God for Canada haha. I have a passion for working with animals, I hope to receive my transfer degree and go back to my homeland where they have more job opportunities that I would enjoy.
I have fun golfing, fishing, eating (I love to go out and eat) I’m up for new activities as well. I like reading, singing (when no one is listening), socializing, watching movies, being with friends & family and listening to music, I’m unpredictable when it comes to music, listen to everything from reggae to pop, country to rock, even classical but right now I’m in a reggae & rap mode. I have a pretty chill attitude and always making new friends so feel free to ask me anything whether its advice on what color shirt u should buy or an assignment u missed. But if its directions to somewhere you will probably have better luck with the next person, I’m horrible at directions. Making people laugh makes me smile so if you chuckled at least twice, I think I have done my job.
Welcome to Our Blog Conversations Beyond the Classroom!
Welcome to our Eng 100 Blog “Conversation Beyond the Classroom”! The title of this blog refers to the community of active readers & collaborative learners we are creating by sharing our academic writing for Eng 100 with each other + a larger group of students, instructors, academics, and just about anybody who chooses to follow our blog! When you write and post your reader responses here (and, later, as you write your essays for the course), I encourage you to use this audience to conceptualize who you are writing for and, most important, how to communicate your ideas so that this group of academic readers and writers can easily follow your line of thinking. Think about it this way: What do you need to explain and articulate in order for the other bloggers to understand your response to the essays we’ve read in class? What does your audience need to know about those essays and the authors who wrote them? And how can you show your readers, in writing, which ideas you add to these “conversations” that take place in the texts we study? As students of Eng 100, you will use this blog to begin conversations with other academic writers on campus (students and instructors alike). We become active readers of each other’s writing when we comment on posts here. And, best of all, we are using this space to share ideas! I encourage you to use this blog to further think through the topics and writing strategies you will be introduced to this quarter. As always, be sure to give credit to those people whose ideas you borrow for your own thinking and writing (you should do this in the blog by commenting on their post, but you will also be required to cite what you borrow from your peers/instructors if and when it winds up in your essays. More details on that later…). Finally, keep in mind that writing to and for this audience is a good way to prepare for the panel of readers (faculty at WCC) who will be reading and assessing your writing portfolio at the end of the quarter. We hope that as a large group of active readers, we can better prepare each other for this experience. But, in the meantime, let’s have fun with it! I am really excited see how far we can take this together!
