Who am I?

My name is Kaylene Diaz and I am Dominican- American. I speak 2 languages fluently which are Spanish and English. I have been playing tennis for about 7 years. This includes 4 years in high school and one semester in FDU. I want to become a neurologist, that's because I am very passionate about learning about the human brain, its functions and impacts on an individual. I spend a lot of time doing separate research on this topic and I read many books and articles revolving this topic. The last book I read cover to cover was Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior by Leonard Mlodinow, and this book was a psychological nonfiction. Two classes that I consider the most important for myself to learn the most out of is Biology and Psychology, reason being that they are major courses that relate to my major which is Psychology: Behavioral Neuroscience

I would rate myself a B when it comes to my writing capabilities. I am more of a story writer, I tend to struggle most with structural writing such as essays with a specific outline. My writing experience has always been a learning journey, Every English course I've been a part of I always learn something brand new. In English 1101 I want to learn how to critically analyse a novel and be able to pull out concepts and transfer it onto a structural essay. Usually when I write I always start by letting words flow to me while typing, I've never been able to sit and pre-write/brainstorm.

I don't use social media anymore, after high school I decided to not be apart of it. It served as too much of a distraction and had no beneficial outcomes.

The most ridiculous lie I've ever told was when my mom had asked me if I ate all of the mozzarella cheese from the fridge, and I lied and said that I didn't. I swore and cried and pleaded that I didn't and then my mother found out anyways and I got punished for lying.

My definition of a hero is someone who comes to rescue people in need, and puts others before themselves.

The last time I failed at something was when I tried to attempt to ice skate and I just kept falling and failed miserably.

  2. Thank you for sharing your ideas Kaylene! What did you lean when you "failed" ice-skating? For example, did you learn the importance of getting up again and to continue trying? Are you afraid to "fail"?

    Your story about the mozzarella cheese was hilarious!

    Welcome to ENGW1101. I look forward to being your professor again.
