Getting to know Cara

1) My name is Cara Minor and I live in West Virginia. I am an English/Education major and hope to teach high school English one day! I also play basketball at Shepherd University. I am very close with my family and spend most of my time with them. I have one sibling which is my younger brother, Casey. We argue a decent amount but we are still very close. My grandparents only live about 5 minutes away from me so we visit, most of the time, twice a week. I am also close with my cousins and see them pretty often. All in all, family is the most important thing to me and my life.

2) The main reason I decided to take this summer class was to help possibly ease my schedule for future semesters during my basketball season. I felt that maybe taking it in the summer would help me gain more focus towards the class and achieve improvements on my writing skills. In terms of writing, I would like to improve on all aspects of my writing, and hopefully start to enjoy it more. I've always loved writing, although, during the school year with stress, basketball, and everything else college life has to offer, I started to lose some of the joy I use to get when writing. 

3) My family makes me laugh the most, but mostly my dad. He is a very sarcastic, ornery jokester. He is constantly cracking jokes and making me laugh. My favorite funny women would have to be my mom and grandma. They are both alike in some ways carry the same funny traits. For example, both of them are constantly busting out in song and dance. They will sometimes sing their words in midst conversation, or start dancing randomly while they're cooking a meal. I've always found it comical and I think it may be starting to rub off on me some.

  1. Great first post, Cara! I like the pictures you included and little touches like calling your dad an "ornery jokester." (I just love that word, too--it's so perfect.) Glad to have you in this class!
