Hey everyone, here is the very first blog on my Super-cool English 110 blog. My name, as the title indicates, is Matthew Brew and I am 17 years old. I am taking English 110 as part of my post secondary program, and next year I plan on entering Ohio State as a freshman, although if all goes to plan I'll be quite ahead of the typical freshmen.
I was born in 1993 in Edinburgh, Scotland and moved to Columbus when in 2000 when I was six years old, because my dad was given a job as a professor at OSU. Both my parents were born in London, England, but they’ve moved around a lot because of university jobs. I have an older brother who is currently going to Brown University in Rhode Island. My family has placed a very big emphasis on academics, but I think that there are more important things to involve myself in. With my test scores and resume, I could end up going to college in some of the more selective schools, but the relationships I have with my friends and family are too important to me to leave Columbus, a city which has been my home for over half my life, and start all over again somewhere else.
I think of myself as a laid-back person who is willing to go with the flow. I am willing to not get my way when I can realize it won’t make too much of a difference. However, when I do feel passionate about something, I will pursue it until I feel satisfied.
I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts as this class continues! And I think so far this blog has not been as super-cool as I first expected.
