Chandler's Introduction

1. My name is Chandler Penn and I am a senior here at Shepherd. I grew up only a few miles away in Hagerstown, Maryland. I am the middle child in my family and also happen to be the only one with red hair. I enjoy playing sports, reading, doing things outdoors, and spending time with family/friends.

2. One of the reasons I am taking this class is because it is a requirement for my minor. I am also taking this class in hopes of becoming a better writer. I love to read and I enjoy writing, but I am not the most confident writer, so I hope to gain some practical knowledge in that regard. I tend to be a little wordy, so I hope I will learn how to be a more concise writer.

3. Stories told by my friends or family about a real life experience often make me laugh. I love a good story. Moreover, I am not as intrigued by staged comedy and often laugh the most when having conversations with my friends or family. Some of my favorite funny women include my mom, my girlfriend, and last but not least, Jane Austen. Jane Austen's snarky and witty writing style always gives me a good laugh.
