The Writing Center Analytical Memo

The Writing Center is a place where you could take anything and they would help you make your project the best it can be. When I say anything, I mean ANYTHING. Along with drafts of essays, they also look at blogs, multiomodal projects, etc. Although it is called The Writing Center, not everyone who is there is an English colleague. There are people from different fields of study that can help with anything that you bring.

For those people who do not like to trek through the cold winter weather, The Writing Center offers online sessions via Skype, Google Docs, etc. The appointments last exactly 50 minutes. Every student has a two appointment limit every week. If you are not able to arrive to your appointment, you can simply go on the to website and cancel. In my opinion, I do not like when teachers know my every move. So, The Writing Center will not let the instructor know of your attendance unless given permission.

Using this resource may not be mandatory, but it would not hurt to give it a shot.

The Urban Gentleman

As a fashion major/fanatic, I find myself dipping my feet into the newest trends. I like to make sure that I look fashionable to my peers, but to my own standards as well. I generally tend to flip through the pages of GQ Magazine, but I also find great fashions by simply searching through Google. I'll let you in on a little secret: I Google my outfits to make sure that I look good. I should be using my own judgement, but I find no harm in using the internet for reassurance.

Along with GQ, I like to reference an online blog to keep up with the latest fashions, The Urban Gentleman. I like this blog because it shows me what style is in, what type of clothing to wear during certain weather conditions, and various famous fashion-forward male celebrities. I feel as if this blog describes me and my fashion sense. I will say that there are a lot of things in this blog that I would never wear in my entire life. However, I feel as though there is nothing wrong with trying those fashions. You never know unless you try!

A Little Bit About Me

I was born in Napa Vally, California into a traditionally Filipino household. Although I was raised in Indiana, I would say that I managed to keep my culture close to mind even though my environment was surrounded by a white community. I know so much about the Filipino language, except the language. My mom would always yell at me if Tagalog, but I never really understood what she was saying. My whole life, I have never understood the entire language. I can pick out bits and pieces, but I could never speak or understand it fluently. Sometimes, I feel ashamed because my familiy gives me ridicule due to the fact that I don't understand it.

Among many other things, there are two important things in my life: color guard and my fraternity. Color guard is important to me because it taught me a lot about myself. On top of elarning how to dance and twirl, it had taught me to embrace who I am and become a leader. Being the only boy in color guard made me learn how to deal with various people, mostly women. To this day, I still keep color guard close to my heart. I am a color guard instructor for a nearby high school. My fraternity means a lot to me because it is what kept me in college. If I did not join my fraternity, then I probably would have ended up in a slump and hit rock bottom. Thanks to my brothers, I have had the best time of my life getting to know everyone and spending time with them. After all, it's pretty much just a bunch of guys hanging out!

My life has way too many ups and downs. But, if I didn't experience them, then I would not have been the person that I am today.
