Project One

Project 1 for me was almost like a breath of fresh air.  In high school, I took the dual credit English 101 and 102 classes at the college in my town.  I feel like the assignments in that class were so much more difficult.  Every paper was either a research paper or an essay I had to write about a Shakespearean play.  They guidelines were so rigid and left me with no room to be creative.  Here, however, in Project 1, I had the complete freedom to express myself and put my opinion into my writing.  Seeing as I am a very opinionated person, I tend to want to insert my opinion where it does not belong.  To me, yes our first assignment was a challenge, but at the same time, a breath of fresh air.

Introduction to Me!

     Hey everyone!  My name is Jordan  Bennett. I am 18 years old and I am a freshman Psychology major here at Clemson.  I am from Duncan, South Carolina, which is a small town in Spartanburg county.  All my life, I have been surrounded by animals.  Since I could walk, I have been riding horses.  I started out riding English style, which is very proper and meticulous.  A few years later, after I learned the basics of riding and could basically just keep my balance, I started riding Western.  I do have to say, while I still ride with English posture, I learned to appreciate Western saddles a lot more.  Through high school, I took part in High School Rodeo.  My sister and I were together in the Team Roping events.  I also ran the barrel pattern a few times.  My whole world revolves around my schooling and my horses now.  Everything I do reflects on either my passion for riding, or my passion for my future.
   I do not have much experience writing.  I took Dual Credit English 101 and 102 in High School.  It was not near as interesting as I expect this class to be.  Most of our writing was either research or papers on literature.  Also, I have written posts on Facebook of course, and expressed myself on Twitter, so I am excited that we are using Facebook and Blogging to express ourselves in this class.  Being able to resort to our Social Media "Haven" creates incentive to write, in a sense.
