First Blog Post For English 1A!

            Blogs are the physical representation of our thoughts; random or relevant, blogs allow us to communicate with just about anyone willing to read. The way I see it, it doesn't matter if I gush, cry, or rant on a post. The point is to free all the thoughts that are clogging the mind. Blogging can be quite therapeutic, and along the way it becomes fun. Many people end up pouring their souls into their blogs, and blogging becomes an unexpected passion.
            One amazing thing about humans is that they can be passionate and inspired by just about anything. For me, I'm passionate about art; albeit I never have the time to actually make art. I'm passionate about Batman (seriously don't get into a debate with me about Batman..) and Doctor Who (and several other tv shows, but that's for another blog), as well as many other things that I can talk about endlessly. School is something that I'm not exactly passionate about, but it's definitely important to me. One day I hope to go to law school, not to be a lawyer, but just to have the credentials to possibly make some kind of impact in the legal world. You can probably say I'm passionate about trying to better the law system.

            I didn't think I'd end up going to a community college, the plan was to go to a 4 year and then off to law school. But many plans fall apart, and so did mine. My current focus is to get the credits I need to transfer to a 4 year, and get back on track to getting to law school. English 1A is a class I need to transfer, but I'm hoping to get more out of it than just the credits. I'm hoping to strengthen my writing, as well as be able to broaden my spectrum of knowledge. You can't pass law school without being able to write well articulated papers. Just the goal of getting to law school is sufficient enough for me to complete a portion of my college career at Chabot. Even though community college is looked down upon compared to a 4 year university, it's actually a nice foundation to build off of and a steady way to transition into college.
