Boot Camp!

The most important thing I learned from boot camp was probably how important revising is. I transferred into the class late, so I felt like I was a little behind and didn't understand the whole boot camp process as well as I could have if I had been enrolled earlier, but really what stuck out the most to me when I was finished was how essential revising is and how much it can really improve someone's and my own work. Although I didn't revise my first essay as well as I should have because I was so far behind, after writing my second essay on McCandless I realized how much it improved just by revising it a couple times. Throughout the semester, I plan to revise every one of my essays like no other. I learned a lot of tips and things that will help me with my writing from boot camp, but revising was what I found most significant from it.

About me

Heyy! My name's Jennifer Williams, but I usually go by Jenny or Jen. I'm 18 years old and a freshmen here. I live on Lake Tapps and I absolutely love it there. I have a nine year old brother who I love and miss very much, along with my family and friends. Summer is my favorite time of year. I'm very friendly and outgoing. I'm five feet tall and very loud. My family, friends and boyfriend mean everything to me. I miss them and being away from home a lot, but I love WSU and I wouldn't want to be attending school anywhere else. I'm a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. I played golf all four years of high school and became captian my senior year! I also worked at Emerald City Smoothie and will return to during the summer. I love meeting new people and doing exciting and adventerous activities. I also love vacationing to warm places. I like to have a good time, but I know when I need to get down to business and get things done. I work hard for what I want, and will do whatever it takes to succeed. I want to major in Elementary Education and become a second grade teacher and I always have. I'm looking forward to becoming a better writer and learning new writing strategies throughout the semester and to meeting every all of you!
