Blog Post #1

My name is Joyce Mau and I am studying Criminal Justice at LaGuardia Community College. I am 21 years old, and I will be 22 this November. I am Chinese and Malaysian, my father is from Hong Kong and my mom is from Malaysia. I went to Hong Kong and Malaysia for the first time in the summer of 2010 and had such a wonderful time. I have a great amount of respect for firefighters, Marines, Navy Seals and all other military servicemen and service woman. I have an amazing boyfriend, he is a firefighter in Long Branch, New Jersey and his name is Dave. I've been to Maine recently and I absolutely loved it, and I would definitely move there one day in the future. I wanted to take English 274 as an elective because I have always enjoyed and loved English courses. I also wanted to take this class because it seems like a interesting and fun class. I have done fiction writing in a writing workshop I went to a year or two ago and I used to keep a journal that I would write in daily. I used to blog about fiction stories that were inspired about some events that have happened in my life. The kinds of writing that I am interested in is fiction and non-fiction but I am usually open to the different kinds of writings out there. Yes I have recently read a biography about a Navy Seal and that really made me want to interview a group of Navy Seals and hear their story.
