All About Me

1.  I have been playing volleyball since I was in 8th grade.  I played on a travel team called LIVBC from 8th to 12th grade, but I played for the school team from 10th to 12th grade.

2.  In my free time, I like to play volleyball, hangout with my friends/boyfriend and take naps. 

3.  Since I was young, my family has called me Ris, Rissa or Rissie but most of my friends just call me Marissa.

4.  When I write, I usually sit at the computer with not a clue on what to write and then when I think of it, I can write a whole paragraph on like 5-10 minutes, but then I get stuck again.

5.  My writing experience for my high school senior year was very relaxed because my teacher helped us a lot.  He understood that he would hardly get any essays if he didn't help because of everyone's senioritis.  I got about a 98 on every essay I wrote(even if it wasn't that good), so I didn't need to revise it.  I learned grammar rules and structure from elementary school-11th grade, but it wasn't really required for 12th grade.  I learned about the 5 paragraph structure, the summer did a toll on my memory.

6.  I listen to whatever is on the radio so mostly pop music.  I don't really have a favorite artist, but I do enjoy listening to Sam Smith.  His voice is perfect.

7.  I use social media all of the time.  Whenever I have Wi-Fi and I am on my phone, I am either texting my boyfriend or checking social media (even though I never have notifications).

8.  This semester, I want to learn how to cut my sentences, so that my sentences aren't run-ons.

9.  I would rate myself a B writer.  I know I'm not a great writer, but I don't think I'm horrible.
