Letter of Introduction

Hi! My name is Brittany Todare. I am originally from Scottsdale, Arizona. I moved to Fort Worth to attend TCU with 1,200 strangers last year. I am now a sophomore, working on a degree in Fashion Merchandising and a double minor of Business and French. Moving to Fort Worth was one of the best decisions I have made. The education I am getting and the people I have met here has been a blessed experience.
In this course, I really plan to expand my writing. In high school, I was never the student to excel in English class. I love to read but writing has never been my forte. Yes, I have to take this class because it is required but I look forward to getting a lot out of this course like how to make an argument and excel in writing.
Other than school work, I enjoy writing in a journal and keeping a diary. I love to write poetry as well. I feel journaling is a great way to express myself and put down feelings on paper. I also love to text on my blackberry and write emails. Family members and I love to email each other back and forth from Arizona to Texas to catch up on the week and things going on in our lives.
I like the objective of this class and look forward to learning more about argument. As I read the first chapter in "Everything's an Argument", it is amazing to think that everything I do in my life is an argument. When I think of an argument, I think of debate and something negative. But in actuality, an argument in writing or in this class is not necessarily a negative thing. From this class I look forward to seeing that an argument is not negative, it is simply just a way of living.

I have read and agree to the terms of the syllabus.

Hi Brittany,

Your blog is looking excellent! I'm impressed with all of the out-of-class writing that you do (and am sure those skills ad habits could translate to the classroom). I have always wanted to be disciplined enough to keep a journal, but I do so much writing for work that at the end of the day I rarely have the energy. Maybe I'll give it another shot though. Glad to have you with us.
