The World According to Me

In the past, when faced with having to talk about myself, I always became insecure and unsure of what to say. In the last few years, however, I have changed a lot, and have become more confident in myself and who I am. 

So who am I? Well, my full name is Isabela Jimenez (I don't have a middle name and never have). I am the second oldest of six children, and I am very protective over all of my siblings but mostly over my two youngest siblings who are ages three and one. Coming from a big family, I have never really had too much attention, and I'm often uncomfortable when attention falls upon me. I was the only one in my family to be home schooled pretty much until high school, which has always made me like a bit of an outsider, and not fully secure in my work. I'm not shy for the most part, and I am very opinionated, but I often keep my opinions to myself due to bad experiences. This is my first time writing a blog, and really putting my writing out there, which hopefully will be a good experience as I am typically insecure about my writing. 

I am really into fashion and journalism, and I would like to combine the two and go into fashion journalism someday. Some of my long term goals include working for a big name fashion magazine and traveling the world. I'm not the best writer or the most confident, but I'm hoping that this class will help me to improve that.

  1. Very nice beginning Isabela. Your spelling and grammar are great and your message flows well. This gives a good sense of who you are and what you are bringing to this writing community. I am a bit worried about your reference to bad past experiences with expressing opinions. I hope you find our group supportive enough to let you speak your mind.
