Getting to know me

   For starters, my name is Claudia Mendoza, I'm Peruvian and I'm 18 years old. I do have a certain hobby that I do on my free time and that would be art. I'm a moderate artist I would say, and I wouldn't call it a passion because it's not a priority for me to pursue at all. I guess I'd be I'm big on Creative writing, I like talking about certain topics that I'd just let the words flow out instead of having an outline of what to write based on solely facts. Especially when I'm on a computer, reason being is because I'm a good and quick "typer" I would say. 

   My writing experience in high school wasn't much effective. The teachers taught tricks and such but not something I'd enjoy writing and expressing my point of view, because you can't use "I or me". I'd pretty much the reading in my English classes, and how we only had to write five paragraphs. They'd just teach us to cite and write an essay based on facts and data. In my experience, I had easy classes for English because my teachers didn't do much. Others had to do papers but I pretty much only got five paragraphs or seven done. 

   I mostly listen to Hip Hop, Pop, R&B, and Rap but I wouldn't say I'm picky with music because I like anything my ears find pleasing. It could be hard core rock and if I'm feeling the beat then I like it. My favorite artist is Beyonce! She's a queen and one of the best, I love her. I do use social media a lot. I have Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram, and I use it so frequently I don't even know how much times I'd look at it. I guess I'd say anytime I'm bored, have nothing to do, or when I get a notification, so pretty much every hour. 

   The most important learning experience I want to have this semester would be responsibility, leadership, and social advice. I lack responsibility, so I guess I want to better myself by doing the things I need to do on time, and not being late or absent. I am a leader but I want to enforce and gain more confidence in order to lead better and to become a good leader. Social advice I guess would be good because even though I have friends, I'm not exactly the best at making new ones or even dealing with people that are superficial. I'm a nice person but I have this unapproachable attitude towards people I don't have a good feeling about. It's not everyone, I just have this lack of patience. I can't deal with people I have nothing to talk about and I'm not a follower for me to just go where they go.

My friends though say I need to be nicer and not pull an attitude with someone I don't know, but even though that goes against my sixth sense, I need to work on it in order to pursue my business career. Therefore, I have decided to try to be a very very very very nice and friendly person to EVERYONE (good vibe or bad vibe) I meet for the first time. That's pretty much everything about me, and I would honestly rate my writing as a C if it's like high school, but if not then B.
