Hey everyone my name is Brandon Walker. I am a junior exercise science major from Biloxi, MS. I attended St. Martin High School. I am a student-athlete on campus. I am a member of the USM track and field team. The event i specialize in is the long jump. After my four years of undergraduate studies, I plan to further my education as a physical therapist. If physical therapy does not work out then my plan b would be to practice as a chiropractor. I have been injured a lot growing up playing sports all of my life and I am very interested in healing others. I actually enjoy writing but only when it is a common topic of discussion. If the topic is something that I can't relate to then it is harder for me to formulate my thoughts and put them onto paper. All in all I am excited about this class.

Being an exercise science major, I have written numerous lab journals throughout my tenure at USM. Those just consisted of me stating what went on during the experiment in the lab. I have written speeches for my speech class that I had to recite. These were more structured as an outline. Writing only becomes difficult for me when i'm not interested in the topic given and the curriculum requires that you should write a lengthy essay. Sometimes I just do not feel like I have that much information to put into an essay. Although I plan on getting an A in this class, I also would like to learn how to write creatively and find a way to formulate my creative thoughts and put them onto paper. Also I would like to learn how to write properly. I look forward to this class. Good luck to everyone
