Fresh Start Intro

1/29/2017 Exactly Month 5 of class

What another way to start of the beginning of a new semester than to document how you are doing. I just want to explain why I am doing this now and why I didn't start it earlier. I am a Freshmen ESL/CAL Education ( English as a Second Language/ Communication Arts and Literature) Major with an Ancient and Classical Languages minor. Why I choose this is because I want to teach English in a high school setting. So about me, I grew up in Duluth, Minnesota. I go to the University of Northwestern St.Paul or UNW for short. I use the term Duluthern Jew to describe my identity. I have Jewish heritage and just wanting to explore that to see what it was like for my ancestors. Duluthern is a portmanteau or what I call a Suitcase Adjective, I am Duluthian for being from Duluth, but I grew up Lutheran and still identify as a Lutheran as a member of the ELCA, but besides the fact, this is so I can stay in touch with those in my hometown, on the wonderful things I enjoy while I am away for my education. So I am doing this as an Introduction to this journal styling. So I suggest those who are interested in seeing when I update this. I am asking if you want to comment an idea for me to talk about. I also want to remind you that are reading this. I am doing this to make you apart of the journey as we walk through this together.
