Blog #2

From reading my fellow classmates’ blogs I learned a lot about them. I learned how Anthony loves sports, Kevin is a free spirit, Chanelle is Dominican, Larry wasn’t a fan  of music until a few years ago, Kathryn is very family oriented, Tushar has only been in the U.S. for seven months, Jacob listens to music to escape from the realities of life, Shaloma is much closer to her mom now that she is older, and that Kierra listens to music to relax. Overall I noticed similarities between myself and my other classmates. Like Kathryn, I also have pets that are like members of my family. Growing up and even to this day I’ve always either had a dog or a cat. From a musical standpoint I observed that Kevin, Jacob, and I have similar tastes in music. While Shaloma and I share the fact that we are very close to our mothers. Tushar, Kathryn, and Shaloma all mentioned in their blogs how family oriented they are. I wish that I could say that I’m family oriented but I’m not. When I was younger my family was a lot closer but as the years have gone by we’ve drifted apart both figuratively and literally. The most surprising thing I found about everyone’s blogs was how open and honest everyone seemed to be. I didn’t expect people to be as revealing as they were, especially since we barely know each other. I really liked this exercise and getting to know more about the other classmates in my class. My hope is that in time we come to learn more about one another. ~Leean
