Self Introduction

            Hi, my name is Danielle Chandler!  I grew up in Weed, California and just transferred to Chico State last semester.  Last spring I graduated with my Associates Degree from College of the Siskiyous in Weed, and am now working toward my Bachelors Degree in Sociology.  My goal to earn my BA in four years is becoming a reality in that I am a junior and plan on graduating in the spring of 2009. 

            I come from a small town, so most of my hobbies consist of outdoor activities; hiking, rafting, biking, camping, boating, etc.  I also paint, read, play keyboard and write in the spare time I do have.  I usually have a really busy schedule with a full-time job and a full-time school schedule, but I decided to lay off the work for this semester to focus more on school. 

I came to Chico with a major in Journalism and a minor in Sociology, but decided to switch when I started taking my Sociology classes.  It is a new subject to me, and I cannot help but be fascinated with all of the various theories and analytical discussions that come with it.  As I already said I love writing in my spare time (hence the first major in Journalism) which is why I am taking this class.  English is a subject I have always adored and just found that this class counts for not only my theme but for my ethnic requirement.  I am really excited to be back into the English setting, and look forward to all of the reading and writing assignments ahead!
