Mamaw
Mamaw is my 94 year old grandmother. She is a sweet little lady, not over 5 ft tall and she doesn’t weigh over 150 pounds. She has snow white curly hair that is little shorter than shoulder length. Her hazel eyes are deep set and framed by big pinkish colored glasses. You always know she is on her way when you hear the sound the sound of her cane tapping against the floor from a mile away.
Since she is 94, she has some very interesting stories to tell… like the one where her cousins and she made and played with an electric chair down in her aunt’s basement. Needless to say, when her mom and aunt discovered their little secret, their fun was over.

my expectations for this class

i have always liked english classes. i enjoyed taking lit/comp in high school, well i liked the lit. part. I have never been a fabulous writer, in my opinion. My main expectation is to learn to write. and to develop confidence in my writing. i'm sure you wil think i am a better writter than i do. i have always done that. i always underestimate my abilities. i never think i am as good at something as others do. but then again isn't everyone like that? if i was the only one like that then i don't think the saying "you are your own worst credic" would exist.
