My Boo Radley

I cannot relate anything easily to Boo Radley, but I will try my best.

I can think of only one thing that scared me at one time beyond belief when I was young. That thing was moving. The idea of going from one place to another and leaving all my acquaintances behind, never for me to see them again was a bit frightening. I admit it staggered the imagination the first time I did so. Then it happened, and it was over, leaving me in a new environment with a new school.

I spent a lengthy amount of time interacting with few. I knew nobody, had nowhere to go, and a closet full of legos. What was a boy to do? After it was over, the process happened again, and I was thrust into a new place. That time it was different. There actually were kids my age in my neighborhood, I could spend more time outside, and I had gotten a scooter. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.

A bit later, the date arrived and again I packed up and left, spending about a month in a stuffy hotel room. I arrived at my new location and settled into my new surroundings. However, unlike the other times there was no fear. I had faced something head on a few times before, and this time I did not fear it. Instead I embraced the idea. I would get a new place, a new chance, a new cycle, and it would be fun.

This was my Boo Radley. Something scared me. I faced it. I discovered it wasn’t that bad, and now I have nothing to fear in the future.

Introductory assignment

Congratulations on my English blog? You have NO idea what it took to get here!

Oh yes, the assignment.

As an english student, I enjoy reading sometimes, and I also enjoy writing, not that I consider it to be of any particular quality. My blog will likely be extremely monotonous like most others, but I hope that things will be kept interesting through liberal use of witty jokes, not so witty jokes, and groan-worthy puns.

English is an important subject because of its point as a tool of communication. Any person must be able to communicate with others in their given field outside of college, and thus neccesary for success. Almost everyone will need to be able to properly communicate with others, and if they cannot then they won't be quite as proficient in their given occupation. English helps teach those communication skills, and is thus a very important part of basic education. Here in this blog is just one of the ways that we can learn to communicate with one another. I can feel myself trembling with excitement already.

Hopefully this assignment will not become much of a burden, undoubtfully resulting in much destruction. Thank you.
