Welcome to the Writers' Studio!
I am an 18 year old filipino woman who is currently living in the suburbs of Chicago. I am majoring in applied health sciences and hope to pursue a career in the medical field one day as the woman in my family have done before me. I am currently employed at Starbucks and have been working there for a little over a year now. I love to fill my time with hanging out with my friends, playing volleyball, rock-climbing, singing, and caring for my other younger family members. I am the only girl and the youngest of 3 siblings. I grew up having two older brothers and two married and loving parents who prioritized their children above all else. We recently adopted a small white dog who is a maltese and jack terrier mix into our family making him the first real pet we have had. My recent accomplishments aside from graduating high school mainly focus on having a debut. A debut is a filipino tradition that holds a special place in my heart. A debut is supposed to signify a young girl becoming an adult when she turns 18 and is full of small filipino traditions that ensure that the woman is guided carefully in life and is blessed by God. My goals in life are to become a dermatologist and to be able to provide an amazing childhood for my children as my parents did for me and my siblings. One thing that interests me is traveling. I have always loved to travel and experience other cultures and communities apart from my own. I believe that learning about other cultures and ways of life around the globe that differ from our own can lead to many benefits and is an interesting topic all together. In addition to traveling, I love swimming. Whether it be a pool, a lake, or the ocean, swimming has always held a special place in my heart.
I dived into my culture by having a debut which is a Filipino tradition that is very close to me.
I am a great friend and overall very supportive of others.
I am working on developing my photography skills.
English 102
Hello all and welcome to my introduction for ENG 102. I had recently completed an introduction so you already have a great deal of information about me, however I would like to share some things you may not yet know! So as previously disclosed, my name is Ashley and I am a medical major.
I am currently part of a big community of partner in my workplace of Starbucks. I live in the town of Schaumburg in Illinois meaning I am also a part of a number of communities here. Taking ASU online courses all the way from Chicago has been a bit of a blessing and a curse. It is nice to have a few extra hours after midnight rolls around to complete my assignments due to the time difference, but online class priorities tend to slip my mind more easily in comparison to in person class ones. I mainly use my computer to connect with people from all over as I find it to be one of the mot effective and convenient ways to communicate. One of my current interests is journaling. I feel that it eases stress and makes me more productive. I am excited to be taking this course and to be improving my writing.
