Introduction

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog!

My name is Sharia de'Castro. I'm from the British Virgin Islands. I am currently a junior here at TCU with a major in English. As the name of my blog says, I LOVE ENGLISH! I enjoy writing poetry, short stories and even songs. Writing has always been a passion for me since I was in highschool. I plan to be an english/literature teacher at one of the highschools back at home and eventually at the community college. I would even like to write my own book of short stories sometime in the future. Besides writing, I enjoy dancing which I've been doing for the past 5 years or so in my church's dance ministry at home. I also enjoy shopping, travelling and spending time with my family and friends.

I'm a twin and my twin sister also goes to TCU. We both have similar interests as she is majoring in Secondary Education - English. I also have two other sisters currently attending TCU; one is in her senior year as an undergrad student and the other is in the graduate program. As you can imagine, this makes it a whole lot easier being far away from home. But I am enjoying my life here at TCU! Infact, I LOVE IT!

  1. Sharia,
    I'm delighted that you love the subject of your major so much. Who are some of your favorite authors? What kind of literature do you most like to write?

  2. Prof. Steele,
    I don't particularly have a favourite author but one person that comes to mind is Virginia Woolf. There's just something about her that I love. But basically, i'll read it once it's interesting. I like to read different authors with various writing styles and opinions in order to gain new perspectives and techniques that I can apply to develop my own writing style.
