English 12

I want to teach English 12 because I love

creative writing. I’ve always loved to write
poetry and short stories. I want to teach
students to love creative writing just like me.
I want to teach seniors because I believe they
would be the more entertaining out of all the
grade levels.
My favorite city i’ve visited is Seattle. I love Seattle
because it is where my sister lives. She always
takes me to Pike’s Place so we can get some fresh
peaches. We also love to go the the first starbucks
which isn't to far away from there.
Favorite Genre of Music
My Favorite genre of music currently is
EDM (Electronic Dance Music). Whenever I
need to focus I just turn on my playlist and
i’m focused on what I need to do.
Fears

My greatest fear is spiders. Since as long as I can

remember I have been deathly afraid of spiders.
Anytime I see anything resembling a real life
spider I run as fast as I can in the opposite
direction.
Favorite TV Show
My favorite show is The Following. I love crime drama
and my favorite poet is Edgar Allan Poe. This show brings
the writings of Poe into a tv show where a college
professor uses them to create a killer cult.
Favorite Quote

My favorite quote was written by Edgar Allan Poe. It

reads “I became insane with long intervals of horrible
sanity.” It originates from his most famous work “The
Raven”.
Hobbies

I love creative writing. I frequently write short stories and

poems. My short stories are usually fantasies that are
based in a world of my own creation. My poetry is usually
has a gothic theme to it.
Dream Vacation

My Dream is to visit a small town in

Germany named Cochem. It has only a
population of 5000. It sits write next to
the Moselle river. It seems to be a place
unaffected by the happenings of the rest
of the world.
Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is The Dark Knight. My favorite

comic book character has always been the Joker.
The version played by Heath Ledger was truly
brilliant. He brought the insane anarchist to life in a
way that will could never be replicated.
Favorite Place to Eat

Cafe Rio. No explanation needed. It's just that good.
