    My name is Katie! I’m a fourth year undergraduate student studying Secondary English Education. I’m excited to help you with your paper! Something I really enjoy is when I can really hear a strong voice throughout the story/paper. I think that this gives the reader some insight as to what you (the writer/author) are trying to convey. I like reading papers on all topics, though! A little bit about me is that I love movies and tv shows. Books are great, too, of course. My favorite movie is Hot Rod with Andy Samberg. Highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it! My favorite author is Louise Erdrich. She writes amazing novels that mostly focus on Native American characters. Also, my favorite tv show is Parks and Rec. I attached a selfie mashup I made to show you all of my favorite books!wr I also really like playing sports! I played softball for about ten years, and I like to go hiking and camping.

2/22 students and social media

I would say I have quite a bit of experience working with online social media and digital composition to connect with others. I have used social media since I was in fifth grade and begged my mom to allow me to get a Facebook account. I feel that I am one of the few people who actually advocates for the use of social media instead of hating on it. I do have a few qualms with social media at times, but it mainly comes down to who and what you follow. Also, age plays a factor. Do I think that I should've been allowed to have a Facebook at approximately ten years old? No, absolutely not. However, I think that once kids are around thirteen or fourteen, they can reap a lot of benefits that social media offers. Social media can offer friendships, resources for people who might not have the best home life, and tons of other stuff. Growing up, I was extremely shy (still kind of am, but working on it!), and social media was one of the only places I could go to socialize with people like me.
