Me

I just figured out how to work this thing (it didn't work on the computers at school) so this post is a little over due. My name is Shiri Nicole Gross and I am a junior at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School. I am involved in the Young Theater Company, the Guys and Dolls Dance Company, and I play and write music on guitar outside of school. English is by far my favorite subject because I love writing and I enjoy reading (when the books are good). I am a very analytical thinker which is why I enjoy English class because it challenges me to improve my analysis skills. My father and grandfather are both English professors in Chicago, my dad works at DePaul University and my grandfather is the president of Roosevelt University, therefore literature has been a part of my up bringing. I am looking forward to the British Literature curriculum and what it has Mr. McCarthy has in store for this 1st period class. Again, I apologize for the lateness!
