About Me

Just like the blog says my name is Nashaya and this blog post is about myself even though I dislike talking about myself personally. Okay where to start, I don't typical play sports like on teams and such. I rather play a sport for fun because if it's something I enjoy I don't always want to think of it as a competition. I do have a nickname it's Shaya or Shay. My dad gave me the nickname Shaya or Shay when I was a young child and from there it just spiraled. Now some of my friends call me that and my family. I listen to all kinds of music I'm like to be a free spirit in that sense and allow my ears to hear almost everything and give it a chance. Right now my favorite artist is Ariana Grande. I do use social media a lot and I admit it's a problem you can almost find me on everything Facebook Twitter and Instagram etc. In general I'm a passionate person but what I am really passionate about is my writing and reading. I can't help but always try and have a book in hand. It's like an escape from reality every once and a while. It also is interesting because what some people come up with in there minds astounds me sometimes. With my writing I want it to actually come alive when someone reads it because it's happen when I've read others works. I want you to actually cry when you should laugh when you should like it's happening all around you instead of in a book. When I do have time to write I never use a outline unless it's needed other than that I just let the words flow and write as the idea come to me. When I was in high school that is where I found my love for writing it was my sophomore year. My English teachers from then on were very encouraging and helpful with criticism and helping me to become better. In my English classes my teachers would offer us at least three times to revise our essays and they taught some grammar rules and structure. We use the five paragraph structure almost all the time in my sophomore year. But in my junior and senior year I took Journalism and Creative Writing so there was structure but a different kind. The most important thing for me this semester is probably to grow as a writer such as with my structure and grammar. I would rate myself probably a B as a writer due to knowing that I have faults that I could fix and also in the same breathe I know I can write really well when I put all of myself into it. Okay so that just some points about me I hope you can get the gist about who I am.
