"Letter to my Friends"

Hi, everybody in case we haven't met my name in Gina Moreno. I’m a student at the University of Arizona majoring in Journalism and Spanish. I've lived in Tucson for 18 years, but I am originally from Chicago. I'll be honest I'm not a huge reader. I just recently have begun to enjoy reading. I've always been envious of people who are passionate readers. But before a few years ago you couldn’t pay me to read a book. Now I go through days I barely leave my room to eat dinner, because I’m so into my book. It’s weird going from extreme from to another. I’m glad I can finally appreciate books, because they are honestly better the movies. As a reader I hate people ruining the end of a book for me. I never skip or look at head in a book I’m reading for the complete element of surprise. When I read I have to have silence and hate reading short periods of time because I end up forgetting what I read. I prefer to read for longer periods getting more involved in the story as time goes by. I’m excited to explore my imagination in this class. It sounds easy to have imagination but it actually take time and thought. This class will give me the opportunity to become a stronger writer and that's something to look forward too.
