What was the most important thing you learned in Boot Camp? Explain why.

The most important thing I learned was just reviewing all the writing skills. I pretty much remember most of what we had discussed in class because most of it was through my English classes through High School. We had to write all those long research papers that showed our opinion and what not. I definitely learned new things as well, but just reminiscing on the important writing elements helped me. If we hadn't gone through boot camp, I'd probably be writing with no thesis and just writing a bunch of random ideas and not a straight forward topic. I totally forgot all about all that very important writing skills I learned..(I know... -___-) So thanks for boot camp! :D

Hi! My name is Timothy Short. I grew up in Hawaii with my family of four, including my parents and my bratty little sister. For the first five years of my life though, I lived in Japan. Even though English is technically my second language, I really think my English is way better than my Japanese. I can speak Japanese semi-fluently and love the Japanese culture. I have my entire mom's side of the family living in Japan, and my father's side of the family living in Wyoming.Tennis and soft tennis is a great way that I get to release my stress and just let loose. In high school, I was the top ranked varsity soft tennis player at my school, and ranked in the top four of my varsity tennis team. I am the intramural men's singles champ at WSU too!

My writing skills... hm, I have really terrible writing skills and I hope that being in this class will boost it up. Being able to construct strong sentences is my weak point. I can get to the point, but it'll take me a while to get there. Please help me out and please bear with me! :)

Being away from home is a big step, especially the cold weather, and I hope I can feel at home with my WSU Ohana. :)
