Introduction

Hello, my name is Karen Fajardo and I am a student in Saipan Southern High School. I am a freshman and I am taking Ms. Ajoste’s English class. I am 14 years old and I am full Filipino but I was born here in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands. I was born on October 29 and I have two sisters but I am the eldest. My opinion on writing is that it helps us express who we are and what we feel. Sometimes, people would read our work and be like wow that is deep or good poem when really we spilled out all our feelings in there. For example, poetry, usually we read love poems well we could write about nature or death or even about our hair because that is the beauty of writing.
