Hello, my name is Justin Singleton. I'm from Perry, Ga. My major is biology. What I want out of this class is the knowledge to be able to complete my education and earn my degree.
A theme of my life would learning. When I say this i do not mean just mean education, I mean in life. Seeing something new, making mistakes, interactions between me and other people, there is always something new to learn in even the smallest of things. The way my gender might effect this, is by the way I might experience things differently from genders. I might be treated with biases, positive and negative, I might be told certain things others wouldn't normally be told or not experience things other would. But this would be part of the learning process. Trying to understand that other people have different experiences from you.
My favorite movies (and tv shows) is Star Wars. Its setting is mentioned at the beginning of every movie "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." This is important to the writers of the Star Wars universe, especially when George Lucas first created it, as it allowed him to create whatever he wanted it to. From this, it also gave anyone the ability to tap into their imagination, and lose themselves in the Star Wars universe. In your own imagination you can be fairly limitless in your creativity (with respect to the created universe). Being able to leave your crappy life and completely forgetting about it, then becoming whoever/whatever you want to be in a completely fictional, Sifi universe.
In "Lighting Bugs" lighting bugs are compared to cameras with the line "take snapshots of my house." I'm not sure if that's what Slyman meant when he wrote that, but it makes sense in my head. This is because as the lighting bugs light up the dark like they are taking pictures. A moment like that acts like a photo in your head as a source of memory. When you see a lighting bug in the future, you will think back to the time you saw them at your house, like reviewing a old photo on your phone. Floating stars in the dark making memories.
Welcome to the class. And yes, reading and writing better will definitely help you earn your degree.
