Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aaron. I hail from Bedford, Texas where I have lived for the majority of my life. This is my first year at TCU and I am enjoying every bit of it. I am currently a business major with aspirations of one day either owning my own recording studio or working as a music producer. While TCU is a wonderful school I am currently waiting to receive an evaluation of my application to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. If I am accepted I would study Music Production in there Curb School of Music Business. I've grown up around music and it has crafted who I am today. I learned to play drums at age 6, follow by piano at 8, guitar at 12, and bass at 13. Unlike the typical high school student, I never had a real job. I was very blessed to be able to use my gifts in music to share them with others through worship music as a job at Alliance Community Fellowship and First Baptist Church of Hurst. My friends all thought it was unfair that I got paid to do what I love, even when I would gladly do it for free, but shouldn't everyone feel that way about their job? Now that college came around I have been lead here to TCU. I have come to love this school and friends I have made here. Although I stepped out of the line of every single person in my extended family to attend Baylor University, they are all proud that I picked a place that suits me.
English has never been my favorite class to take, but it was that way because I did not excel in it. I spend little time practicing my reading and writing outside of what I "have" to. My hope for this class is that I will learn new information and develop skills to improve my writing. Outside of any classwork, my personal writing consists of emails and music lyrics. I have little confidence in my writing simple because I know my writing is rare. I would like to write a story if I had the time. I have a big imagination but a very difficult time conveying those stories through writing. Poetry and lyrical writing are my favorite types of writing because of their loose form and freedom. I dislike writing abstracts or research papers simply because it bores me to write about other peoples ideas and information. My sister is a writing fanatic and it always bugged her how my poor my writing was in middle school. Although it still isn't great, my sister has influence the way I right for the better. With practice and teaching I know i can improve my writing. I am excited to be in this class and am really looking forward to becoming a better writer.
I have read and agreed to the terms of the course syllabus.
