Freewriting Assignment

I believe life is hard but with patience and companionship it gets easier. I did really good first coming out of high school. I had a job I was going into college everything was great. About a year in I joined a band, The Voice of Hayden, and wanted to buy my own drum set instead of borrow the lead singers. Well I lost my job a few months after putting the drum on my credit card. After a couple years the interest raised to two thousand dollars and I only had a job at McDonalds working maybe three to twelve hours a week. That's not even enough for rent, electric, and food. I also accumulated other debts along the way. Wal-Mart credit card, electric, school loans, my Lancer Mitsubishi, and my cell phone. I could pay for these things when I had got them, but I lost my job at a bank. I was in a pretty low part of my life, but then my beautiful girlfriend came along and paid my drum off and talked them down to five hundred dollars and paid all my other debt as well. She moved me to Arizona and got me a little bit better of a job as a Photo Specialist and we lived with her grandmother for free. We then decided we missed Missouri so we moved back. Back back back back Now I am back in school debt free and happier than I have ever been all because I was patient and had companionship.

Jung and the Restless with English

On the Jung Typology Test I was Extravert, Feeling, Judging, and then Sensing. I agree with the test entirely, I am always "leaping into tasks with little planning, then rely on trial and error to complete the task" (Jensen, DiTiberio) I almost never think before doing and I am the same way with my writing. In high school I would wait until last minute to read my instructions and then try and put stuff together. I am more of a talker than a writer as well. I am really hoping this class will help me to get more into English and to love it more, because I would like to become a good writer. I also agree a lot with feeling being my second result. "Feeling types tend to be particularly motivated when given special encouragement and when projects relate to what they care about." (Jensen, DiTiberio) This is so true about me, in high school the courses that didn't relate to what I cared about I did poor in and, of course, they were the core classes. I was always best at extra curricular classes like band. Now in college I am trying to stop that, but it won't be easy. The other two I got a one and eleven on so I would say they most not relate to my writing very strongly, but that is okay because the first two were dead on. I loved this because it only helped me to realize my flaws and what I need to work on to become a stronger better writer.
