My Skill

The skill I have aquired is cooking/baking. Now let's face it not everyone can cook. It takes practice and on some things trial and error. I started cooking when I was about 11. My parents used to work late sometimes so I was able to make dinner at night alot. That gave me lots of practice. As I got older I experimented with different recipies and made them unique to our family. Now I have kids and am very thankful that I have this skill. I'm quite sure my kids appreciate that as well. I think learning this skill can apply to my writing because in a way the process is the same. With cooking and writing alike you start out with your first product and through trial and error and revising you can always make it better. You can add something here or take something from there to end up with a better finished product. It all just takes a little thinking and in some cases patience. 

In-Class Assignment

My name is Rebecca Asbury. I don't have much time to read for fun but when I was able to I enjoyed reading mystery/crime novels. I like anything that keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. When i get to watch tv we are usually watching something funny, scary, or that keeps you on the edge of your seat. When im not in control of the tv my kids usually have a Disney movie in. I listen to pretty much anything as long as its not "Oldies" or anything weird. That music just doesn't interest me. The only experience i've had with research was in school when we were required to either research for a paper or a project. The time i've had to argue is with my siblings or in a disagreement with someone. So that's about it.
