Chloe's First Blog

Hello my name is chloe and I am a freshman. I was born in New York but moved to Dublin ohio when I was in 7th grade. I graduated from Dublin Scioto High School. I never did any sports but I did cheer up until my Senior year of high school. In my free time I am usually at one of my two part time jobs that I have or at a food pantry in downtown columbus that I serve at every week. I work at Palm beach tan and I also am a nanny three days a week for a two year old boy. I really like my cat Rupert. I also enjoy reading, knitting and listening to music. Some of my favorite artists are Radiohead, Death cab for cutie, John Mayer and The Avett Brothers. Something interesting about me is that I was home schooled until 3d grade.

One thing that stuck out to me in one of our readings Why I Write: Making No Become Yes is that Elie Wiesel pursued what people told him not to because they didn't think that he would succeed in it. He explained why he did so well in math because "there is only one answer and that in english all the answers were a judgment call or matter of opinion".  I think that its pretty cool despite his teachers opinions he did what he wanted to do and didn't let anyone tell him differently.
