Before I came to Stockton, I used to never recycle. I never thought much of it because it really wasn’t that big of a deal for me. When I came to this school my friend continued to reprimand me for not recycling, so I started recycling. During classes a lot of the students talked about the damages we’re causing, and I do believe they have a point. I’m still in the shadow, so to speak, when it comes to the damages that are happening throughout the planet, but at least I know I put in my help.

reading

I usually don’t enjoy reading as much as should. I actually only read when imp forced to. Only one author has ever caught my attention like no other reader has, Ellen Hopkins. When I read her books I couldn’t take my eyes off it. I’m not an excellent reader, at times I have to go back and re-read a sentence I just read or sound out words that I can’t pronounce in my mind. I’m a generally slow reader, but I have a different understanding than other readers may have. I don’t usually read with writing utensils because I don’t like marks on my books unless it’s a paper I wrote myself. When I’m in a rush I read an assignment straight through without grasping the concept, the only way I can truly understand it is if I read it slowly and thoroughly.

arguing

I am a very argumentative person, but only for fun. I enjoy controversial issues even if I don’t agree with the side I am defending. Most of my friends believe I should be a lawyer because I’m always disputing, but not during serious situations unless it calls for it. I don’t know why I enjoy arguing so much, but hearing different opinions fascinate me.
