All About Me

I, Darriana Greer, was born in Chicago, Illinois at Christ Hospital. I grew up in Chicago as well. Before I attended Ralph Ellison, I attended Arbor Park Middle School. Arbor Park middle school is a school grades 5-8, and it is located in Tinley Park. When I came to Ellison, I already knew I wanted to be apart of the volleyball team. I didn't join any other teams or clubs because as a freshman, I didn't know what I wanted to do. So, I ended up going to volleyball camp, attending every practice, and then eventually, I became the only freshman on the Varsity volleyball team. My top three favorite classes are writing, math, and Spanish. Writing is one of my favorite classes because I have learned to write better papers. I didn't used to be terrible at writing papers, but I'm sure if i was to go back and correct them, I would have plenty of mistakes that my previous teachers may not have caught. I also like the class because of the teacher. When a teacher is full of life, funny, and knows how to teach lessons for his/her students to understand almost right off the back, that is what makes the class worth the hour. Math is one of my top three classes because I am a math junkie. I love solving problems and coming up with different solutions for things. Math makes me feel so smart. I learn something new everyday in math class. I also like my math teacher. When we are having trouble with something, he doesn't really help us. He lest us talk and discuss what we are having trouble with, and we usually end up figuring it out. We realize we're just that smart. Spanish is one of my favorite classes because I am obsessed with the language. When I hear a Hispanic person speak Spanish, I become mesmerized. If you ask me, Spanish is better than English. My favorite teacher is my writing teacher, Ms. Rubio. Ms. Rubio is funny, genuine, smart, always full of energy, and is an amazing teacher. I haven't had a difficult time her class, and she is the reason for that. Also, she gives out more merits than any other teacher. I am a lover of music. I listen to many different music types: R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, Country, etc. I'm not stuck on a certain type of music. My favorite movies are all of Tyler Perry's movies and Disney Pixar Animated Films. I can watch them over and over again. I don't really have a lot of hobbies because I have not tried to find everything. My best friends are Kaitlyn and Denesha. Kaitlyn and I have been friends since we were both eight. I met her in third grade. Denesha is my older cousin. She is nineteen years old, and I have known her all of my life. Throughout the fourteen years of my life, they have been the people I could come to and talk about anything and everything. They have always been there for me whenever I needed someone. They are very special people in my life. I love them dearly. This is my first blog. I had thought about creating a blog, but I never did it. I think this is something I will enjoy doing. This is similar to my personal journal.
