Hello my name is Rob. I am a forty-four year old freshman who has worked as a laborer all my life. Last winter I had one of those life changing moments of bravery that ended with me enrolled as a student last spring. I am working towards a degree in social welfare. I love to read and I read alot. I read everything from technical manuals to the bible, comicbooks to the classics, science textbook to science fiction novels. In fact I enjoy just about any kind of reading there is, and often have more than one book being read at once.
I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have a twenty year old son we love very much. I enjoy every facet of life here in Eastern Oregon as I have for a better part of my life.
I am looking forward to this class both for the traditional English curriculam, and the technical computer applications such as this blog, which is a first for me. I will say that alll the reading i have done still did not keep me from making many mistakes both on the first quiz and setting up this blog.

ReplyDeleteI think that it is great that you decided to come back to school! Nice job on the blog (this is my first experience with blogs too)!!
ReplyDeleteYour span of interests is impressive when it comes to reading, keeps it from getting monotonous if you read a comic book one day and a science text the next!
Are you reading anything right now? Any must-reads that you would suggest?
I read many different kinds of books, do you have a specific interest? After summer classes I read a biography about George Washington called His Excellency, and a 6 book fantasy series by David and Leigh Eddings, two science fiction books that were just ok, and a Geography book called Guns, Germs, and Steel. This is an awesome book that delves into the effcts those three subjects have had on society.
ReplyDeleteDo you read for fun or grades, or both?
