1. Reading and writing has been very benificial in my life. I believe reading and writing force you to think and ultimately helps you gain as much knowledge as you can. The types of writing I do outside of school are facebook post, an occasional message board post, and emails.
2. My most difficult writing aspect is getting started and grammar. I have struggled with grammar in my work since and I can remember. Getting started is tough for me because it always seems like I have a million ideas spiriling through my head. I find it tough to grasp that one idea and run with it. If there was one thing to improve it would be my grammar.
3. I like biographies and some novels. Sports biographies in general are the one genre that I find most appealing. However, a good mystery novel such as a recent favorite The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown is a book I found to be very good. There is a big connection between reading and writing. Without reading you can't have writing and vice versa, they go hand in hand.
4. Whenever it comes to research all that comes to mind is sitting at a library or a computer and slaving for hours upon hours to find one measley source. However, after reading the introduction of our text, I found that research does not have to be "boring" it can involve story telling and exciting ties to the real world.
5.Social class is one thing that I found interesting out of the ideas that were given. Being a political science major social class can involve nearly anything and I would like to somehow tie that to my political science major. Though a specific idea has not come to mind, social class seems like an interesting topic relating to many things.
6.One way I find that gets people interested is simply getting them involved. If you ask questions whether that is in a sit down interview or random people on the street. If you get people involved it makes the topic much more interesting.
