Introducing Hannah..

 1) Introduce yourself. Tell us a bit about who you are.

Hello! My name is Hannah and I am 22 years old. I am a Political Science-Legal Studies major with a minor in English. I went to Hagerstown Community College for two years prior to Shepherd and received an Associate degree in Paralegal Studies. Although I know a lot about it, am not extremely interested in Politics, rather I am more interested in law. I am good at classes regarding law and eventually want to go on to law school in the future. I am previously from Maryland, but bought a house about two years ago in West Virginia. 

I am engaged to be married and have a wedding planned for this July. I have two daughters, a five year old and a one year old. As corny as it sounds, I truly believe I was born to be a mom. My kids give me my purpose and so much happiness and my goal is to give them the best possible childhood. Before my kids I was very career oriented, but as much as I love my major and the field I am in, now my kids come first in every situation and they are my main priority and nothing makes me more proud! 

I love to be outside and most days when I am not busy we spend all day out. I also love to read for fun and watch movies, but my time to do that is very limited. I don't think I have read for fun in years, but once my schedule clears up again, I want to!

2) Why are you taking this class? What do you hope to learn or gain from it, specifically in terms of your writing? (Even if you are just taking it because you need the credits, you should still push yourself to write about some thoughtful goals.)

I am taking this class to gain writing skills in areas that I lack. I have always struggled with writing because it is difficult for me to correctly and adequately write down all of my thoughts. Ultimately, I will proofread a paper over and over and still not see certain mistakes. Also, I struggle with making my writing sound intelligent and formal, especially when I have so much to say about a topic because it is difficult to organize. Classes that teach writing skills truly do interest me because writing is a skill that I very badly want to be good at and want it to come with ease to me. I am always eager to learn more about writing because it will benefit me in my career field. 

3) Talk about some memorable internet “texts” you have interacted with—even if that just means they’ve made you laugh or think a lot. They don’t have to be your favorites—just talk about whatever comes to your mind. 

This made me laugh because it is my every day life. My oldest grew out of the toddler stage just in time for my youngest to start. All for fun though, although tough sometimes, I do love how strong willed she is.

    

Before COVID, a huge pet peeve of mine was people that stand too close to you in line. I never understood that because standing a couple inches from the person in front of you won't make the line move any faster. I like the dots on the floor that tell people where to stand, a lot need them!

I shared the above post on Facebook the other day because it made me laugh. I always make my kids look very put together, clean and neat in the morning and by the end of the day they look like they haven't bathed in days. I posted a picture under of them getting into the water when we went on a walk. I love how relatable this one is. 

    

This is another post I shared on Facebook at the end of the last semester. The post is extremely relatable because the feeling of being done for the semester mentally and drained, but still having so much work to do. I shared in right before my Capstone presentation and by that point I most certainly was drained and "done."
