Shin 1

Daniel Shin Mr. Novalis English 101 – 014 1 September 2016 Journal 1 I would like to formally introduce myself, my name is Daniel Shin and there is a lot to know about me. I am a sophomore here at Liberty and my major is in Criminal Justice (Strategic Intelligence). I live in Northern Virginia with two older sisters who are both working in their dream jobs. My oldest sister Grace is a teacher in Alexandria, VA who got her degree in human development and health science; while my second sister Sophia is a news and media specialist at CNN in New York with her degree in government communications at Boston University. I gave my life to Christ when I was 12 during a dark time of my past and now I am at one of the biggest Christian universities in the world. After I gave my life to Christ, I found more comfort in reading to help calm me whenever I was stressed from work. I would love to create book summaries for myself so I can remember the important events or quotes I missed in the story. Soon, after a couple of years, I started to lose interest in writing my book summaries. In writing, I have a bad tendency to overthink my topic and write about other subjects in my essays that do not relate to one another. My biggest goals in improving in my writing is to be able to focus on one topic and try to research and come up with the examples that are related to my essay. English 101 this year will help me improve my writing, help me not overthink in the topic I am given, and will not use repetitive sentences and words in an essay to confuse or frustrate my audience....
