In Class: Free Write
Bruce Ballenger talks about writing badly I think he wants you to just apply your thoughts on paper so that you can witness your mistakes or maybe so you can just free your mind. His writing soounds harder than it may seem because take me for instance im not a writer at all but its something im trying to work on i didn t read too much of this chapter because i didnt have my book yet so im just applying what i think it may mean its been a busy week! writers are not perfect. Today i guess im gonna go back and read this because its clear i dont know what im talking about this is kinda weird but i guess it might help me hopefully! So who is Ballenger? i would like to know so if you know please feel free to post a comment.

Who Is Hank Thorns?
On January 11, 1989 in Las Vegas, NV on a beautiful Thursday morning a star was born and his name was Henry Thorns, but you can call me Hank. I'm a 20 year old junior now attending TCU on a full ride basketball scholarship after spending two great years at Virgina Tech. When I am out of the classroom and off the court I am as simple as they come. Some of my hobbies include collecting shoes, riding horses, and sleeping. Here at TCU, I will be majoring in communications while taking business as a minor. I take pride in my work and not just in this class, but in everything I do.
So, if I became Chancellor of TCU the one thing I would try to change, if not make it better, is expanding the university by adding more majors, which will bring more students. This campus has great faculties, facilities, and a great environment that can make this program one of the nation's best. Teachers would also be a key in helping take the program to another level as well as the type a students that are accepted here. A good teacher is someone who makes learning fun, strict when they need to be, but makes a student enjoy their company. A good student will feed off that and will strive to be the best with whatever is put in front of them.
Some things you should know about me is that I am a big family person, I feel like I'm the best in whatever I do, even if I'm not, and that I would stop at nothing until I have success. A couple of my role models of mine is number one my father he's the reason why I who I am today. Second would be my grandmother she was the strongest person I know. Last but not least, Micheal Jordan, I think the guy is a genuis from what he did on the court and what he does off it. Those are three people who I feel like I can have dinner and talk to everyday.
This course was assigned to me, so I didn't have a chance to choose it, but it's one that I think I can benefit from because it can help me expand my knowledge and skills in writing. Honestly, I never write unless it's an assignment, but I think writing can be powerful if it is used in the right ways. Everything explained for this course is very clear to me an I admit it migh be a little of a challenge for me, but I will embrace it, learn from it, and hopefully become the best writer here.
