I have a fetish for tiny baby feet and an obsession for chocolate. If you'd like to get to know more about me click on the A Self-Introduction button below this text.Nonetheless, I'd like to welcome you to my Writing 39B portfolio, a place where you can read my writing pieces I have done for this class and observe the improvements and growth in my academic writing.

Writing 39B Course Objectives
In this Writing 39B course, our class has multiple objectives. Our main goal is to ultimately understand the idea of rhetoric and a specific text's rhetorical situation (whether it be a film, book, poem, etc.). This class is meant for us to improve our writing skills as well as communication skills through different mediums such as live presentations, videos, websites, narratives, essays, formal analyses, annotations, and etc. We also have other crucial goals in this class such as: to learn how to be a good contributor, to improve on our scholarly writing through the process of writing our RA and RIP essay, to reflect and understand the progress of our own writing, and to work on all of the "habits of mind" while we try to get to know more about our world.
