My Introduction

My name is Jessica Kern and I am 15 years old and live in California with my parents. I also have an older sister who goes to college in Oregon. In my free time I like to hang out with my friends, spend time with my family, and shop. I also play soccer competitively and hope to continue to play at college. My favorite book I've ever read is To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. I'm very excited for this year in English. Specifically, I want to improve my writing by being able to persuade a reader using what I write and also become a more clear and concise writer. In conclusion, one of my favorite quotes is "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened," by Dr. Seuss. I love this quote because it reminds you to be thankful for everything that has happened in your life and continue living your life to the fullest.
