A little excerpt

Here is a little excerpt from my very first paper in Composition 102 this semester.
Since it's mostly Deaf people from Louisville that read this blog I figure y'all would get the most out of it. We had to write a paper about ourselves, but it was in a weird format...you will see what I mean.

"I am what I am. Noise within silence. A product of silent love. A church where no one speaks a word, yet their concern is felt loud and clear. I am what I am."

Yep...that's about as poetic I can be. Don't know what kind of grade I will be getting, But I am hoping since it's the first paper the professor won't be too hard on me.


In other news, the great Bobby Fischer died. One of the best chess players to ever come out of America. Sadly I think in his case...playing to much chess fried his brain. He became crazy. I saw some article that said when 9/11 happened he basically said that the U.S. deserved it.

He even had some very anti-Semitic opinions. Ironically, he was Jewish himself.

Even with all that...I still think he was a really good chess player.

P.S. Dad did you hear about Roddick's third round loss in Australia? I saw the match...wow!

much love,
Jo

Awesome composition for English. I like it. Of course I am a bit prejudiced in my opinions. ;)
