Kimberly P.

Hi my name is Kimberly Pendilla. It is my 2nd quarter at WCC and I am attending WCC to get my pre-reqs done so that I can transfer to Northwest University and become an RN. I am taking English 100 with Anna Wolfe, Math 99 and Spanish 121. I am actually not from Bellingham, I used to live in West Covina, CA for about 10 years. My family and I moved to Bellingham because of family up in Canada. I have been in Bellingham for about 9 years now and I have been attending Bellingham Schools since 5th grade. I went to school in 5th grade @ Sunnyland, 6th @ Shuksan, 7th & 8th @ Whatcom and spent 4yrs @ Squalicum. I graduated from Squalicum last year and graduated with honors. Some things about me: I am a hard working person, helpful, can be lazy sometimes, I love to read and do math(I realized last Quarter that I get really into math and actually think it is fun!), I love to travel, learn a language,sing and play piano. Probably one thing that not many people know about me is that I teach karate to little kids. I think it is one of the most coolest jobs EVER! To tell you the truth, I act like a kid too than an adult around the kids!!To be honest, I am in the middle about writing. I like to write because you can be yourself in your writing and I can put great ideas on paper but have a hard time staying clear in my writing. The main thing I hate about writing is grammar and timed writing. When I get into my writing, I tend to forget to correct my grammar and to me it sounds normal, but it's not. About timed writing, I get writer's block everytime. I realize that even if I prewrite for the the 1st 10min, I still get writer's block. When I finally get over my writer's block, I end up speed up in my writing and trying to get every last bit I can get in it.As for writing: 1)facebook 2)e-mail 3)texting (not often)Facebook and e-mail for me, go hand in hand. I do a equal amount of both. I try to check my facebook and e-mail everyday when I see a computer. I usually talk to other people or e-mail them back, most the common stuff you would do on facebook or e-mail. I like to communicate with my family from the Philippines, Georgia, and California because we don't see them as often as we like. I like to e-mail and IM my family and friends because it is like talking to them but electronically. In my opinion, the purpose of me writing e-mails is my way of communicating to them, similarly communicating with the reader in writing. A bad habit about e-mailing and talking to people is that you create a habit of shortcuts and wrong english.
