My name is Joe, I would rather be honest then lie, but to be honest I was looking forward to a Journalism class but I'm not into the whole idea of relying on the internet to discover my assignments and what not, but I love writing it's one of my hobbies. I will do anything it takes to get a good grade.
Some of my personal interests include art forms such as graphite art, painting and tattooing along with music. I really got into art through a small tattoo shop that did work on me when I first turned 16, the artist was just amazing at what he did and ever since I've been interested in tattooing, painting and graphite. I enjoy tattooing because it gives you a sense of freedom and capability along with the feeling of not conforming into someone else's ideal standards. I've enjoyed drawing for as long as I can remember, I always had a pencil in my hand when I was little. I like these forms of art just because it's an easy way to express the things that you have built inside yourself and your mind without being automatically judged or criticized.
I have a small variety of my work type experience, I worked for my Grandfather doing roofing, carpentry and other hands on skills along with being a cashier at a small grocery store. I started working at the age of 13 and created a strong work ethic because of the way I was raised by my Mother and Grandfather. I'd love to work as a tattoo artist or professional piercing artist at a shop and just have fun doing what I love to do and make a living out of it as well.
My hopes for this class are to strengthen my writing abilities and lean me more towards journalism. I hope to succeed in this class and work on my organizational skills in writing. I really do not know or describe what I would like to learn but I am dedicated to this class and am always open to criticism and improvement.
