1: For most of my life I played baseball. I began playing in Pre School playing T-Ball and played every year up untill Junior Year in highschool. At that point I decided I would rather work and earn money than play baseball every weekend.

2: I am very passionate about cars. In the blog below I posted a picture of my own car. My friends and I all enjoy modifying our cars, cleaning them and going to car shows when we have free time. Ever since I was little I have enjoyed cars and now Im old enough to own my own and modify it the way I would modify fake cars in video games.

3: One of the biggest lies a told was lie me and my father told my mother. It was my couisns birthday party and me and my dad had been looking at cars for me because my 17th birthday was coming up. We were very bored at the birthday party so my father and I snuck out and told my mom we were going home but in reality we went to go buy my car. She was not very happy with us when we came home with a car becuase she wanted to be there when I chose a car.

4: When I write, it is a mixture of both having an outline and also words simply coming to my head. When I make a full out line of the exact things I want to say, it doesnt always come out to sound as natrual as if I were to do some planning and some free thinking.

5: My writing experience has been overall pretty good so far. I feel that I am a better writer than I am a reader because writing is usually my thoughts rather than analyzing somebody else's thoughts from hundreds of years ago. Overall, I would like to do better with grammar and punctiation as silly as that may sound. I'm sure I have already made a ton of grammatical errors just in this blog.

6: The last book I read cover to cover was Hamlet becuase it was the last book I had to read for my senior literature class. Easily my least favorite book of all time.

7: I use social media almost everyday. I snapchat everyday of the week, I read twitter almost every day. Maybe I'll post something every few days but not too frequently and I go on instagram everyday and only post something once every few weeks. Usually its a picture of my car.

8: This semester, the most important thing I would like to learn is to over all become a more mature written. I would like to be able to write in a more mature manner and also improve upon my grammer.

9: My defention of identity is an individuals true personality. Somebody may pretend to be someone that they are not, but their true identity is the person they truely are and not the person they try to be.

10: An issue that is important to me is the way police officers are being treated. On a personal level, I know many country workers such as Firemen, Police Officers and Sherifs Officers in my town. They are made out to be terrible people because of the way the media portrays them to be killers and bad people. However, they are just like you and I doing there job that helps keep everybody safe.

11: As a writer, I would rate my self a B overall. I feel as if I make my points very clear when I write, however my writing is far from perfect.

What's up guys, this is my blog. My name is Anthony Martino, some of my intrests are cars and sports. Above is a picture of my car, 2006 Dodge Charger R/T. I work at Best Buy in the TV and Car Audio deparments. Hope this will be a good semester!
