Introduce Yourself




When I ask students the question "what is something interesting about you" they think it is difficult to give an answer. Maybe the reason is that everybody thinks of themselves as just a normal person. Every ELI student has had the experience of traveling to another country to study. This is interesting. Anyone who has experienced two cultures has had something interesting happen to them.
I want to know more about each of you. If you can't think of anything, just write about what you do during the day.
For example:

Monday through Friday, I wake up at 6:00 AM and ride the bus into Spokane. While I am on the bus, I listen to my iTouch. I work at Spokane Community College in the morning. In the afternoon, I ride the bus back to Cheney and work at the Writers' Center until evening. I have some dinner, and I read and write at night. On the weekends, I like to sleep and visit with my family and friends.
The cold weather makes everything more difficult. There is no sunlight when I wake up or finish work. I have been sick twice this quarter, and that also makes things harder to do.

Now I want to read about each of you. Leave me a comment. Feel free to talk about anything.
