Hobbies
I'm passionate about English literature and composition, especially essays. I maintain a blog of ideas and summaries of books I read: visit http://samanthasprole.com. Writing and thinking clearly are such empowering skills, I want to encourage others to explore their innate talents and the pride that comes from getting ideas out of their heads and on to the paper. Your ability to think and communicate clearly and effectively in English will help you achieve so many things in this world.
