To kick our AP Comp. Blogs off, I'll introduce a little bit about myself to those who don't know me as well as others. In order for others to understand me and my writing I will just start with the basics. There really is not much to go over; however, the things that I do go over have a greater depth and story to them.
A big facet in my life is music. I'm not one of those people who can't live without it, but I really appreciate music as a whole. I mostly listen to all kinds of rock and country. This includes everything from Slipknot's "Psycosocial", to Kenny Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." On top of that, I am also a fan of virtually everything else. I enjoy listening to classical, some rap, and almost everything else that one can think of.
Another base that I would like to touch on is what I like to do in my spare time (if any). Like the typical teenager, I like to chill with my buddies and do the next stupid thing that sounds like fun. We have been known to go ding-dong ditching, golfing--around town, and throwing pickles in McDonald's (sorry McDonald's employees). I also enjoy working out. Whether or not it is for football, or the information provided below.
My future ambitions include the United States Marine Corps. If everything stays on the gravy-train with biscuit wheels, I will earn what is called a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship. This will allow me to go to one of 60 colleges around the nation and receive military training, all for FREE! So in a nut shell, when I graduate college, I will receive two titles--college graduate and United States Marine.
Naturally there is more to me than the information that I have disclosed. However, the information that I have included can explain, "Zach Jones." If you want to learn more, just drop me a line, or even better, COMMENT!

Hi Zach!
ReplyDeleteThrowing pickles?
Good job getting your blog up and running. Now you have three tasks ahead of you:
1. Read and annotate the two Talk of the Town essays found in the class resources page
2. Post your response to these essays. Remember that your post can take any form or tone suitable to your goals. Just be creative and thoughtful!
3. Start following other people’s blogs. Their URLs can be found in the comments to my first post, or on the blogroll that will shortly be added to the class resources page.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope your summer is off to a rousing start, and I’m glad you’re part of this year’s AP Composition experience!
Best,
Mr. Kunkle
