Introduction

My name is Ebony O'Neal. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. Before moving on campus, I lived on the north side with my parents, younger brother and dog. I have an older brother also who resides in Atlanta, GA.
In my free time I love to listen to music & draw. Also, I love anything involving hair. Doing hair has always been a passion of mine. If I had one wish, I would wish for one million dollar$.. but not for myself. I would use it to help people in financial need and to help lower and middle class families pay for school.
I'm intending to major in Education - Social Studies. I'm really into helping youth exceed and reach their dreams, therefore I want to teach at a high school level. The best class I've ever taken was my American History class my junior year at Rufus King. I liked this class because our teacher made learning fun. Sometimes we were having such a good time we didn't even know we were learning.
I've always been one to have a way with words. I love writing because it's a great way to express your feelings and to get a point across. During high school, I mainly did persuasive writing. I enjoy reading pieces that some way I can relate to because it makes it more interesting.
My biggest fears about college-level writing is that I have a hard time expanding and going into depth about what I'm writing about. I get straight to the point without using details. My goals for this class is to become the best writer I can be and to learn all I can learn to improve my writing skills.
