Entry One: Introduction

My name is Emily Barnes and I am a Junior English Education Major here at Northwest. With this being my first blog ever, I'm not exactly sure what characteristics I'm supposed to include and to be honest it will probably one boring blog! I am from Kansas City, more specifically Raymore, and I live with my parents when I am not here at school. I have two older brothers and a sister-in-law and twin niece and nephew. My parents, brothers, and sister-in-law are all in the education field as well and I'm beginning it's just an undiscovered gene that we all share!  In regards to writing, I'm not good at creating fictional stories and that is what has always scared me away from creative writing. I can write reports and analysis papers but as soon as someone tells me to create, I freeze up. So most of the creative writing I do is non-fiction and usually involves my family. To me, my family is the most important aspect of my life and they provide me with so much material that I feel safe when I'm writing about them.
