Standing Ovation: Intro Mehdi

Intro Mehdi

I am Mehdi Makraz, I was born in Casablanca, the largest and unique metropolis in Morocco. I live for the greatest purpose that is why I came to this life. Now you must be wondering what this greatest purpose is. It is simply to love and be the light. I believe in the human spirit as I believe in truth itself. I am a very unique person just as everyone else. The only difference is that I realize that uniqueness within humbleness. The reason why I am mentioning all these things in the introduction is because that’s what makes the basis of my daily life. The root of my existence is love. I have been playing music since my early age, my father is what some people refer to as “meloman”. This word is a combination of melody and man. So I believe the erythrocyte running in my veins carry enchanting music within. Also, not I am only a music player but also a singer. Music and words of wisdom are going on in my head none stop. I love it because there is nothing I can do to stop it. One thing I really miss in my hometown is surfing. When I was in Morocco I used to surf almost every weekend if the conditions allow so. When the sun is shinning and the weather is sweet, I usually head south Morocco where waves stand up to ten feet. Wow how extreme is that? My house in Casablanca is about a twenty minute walk from a surfing spot. I could behold the magic blue waves breaking on the shore from the roof of my house. Now that I came to Washington State I don’t surf anymore because there aren’t any surfing spots in the area. However I tried rock climbing in Mount Erie nearby Anacortes. the experience was both extremely intense and intensely extreme.

The kind of writing I do the most is social networking. I love to post revolutionary ideas on Facebook. It is a really good tool to propagate revolutionary thoughts. The goal is to make people reflect on the nature of the human spirit. I am not so much into texting, I guess the reason why I am not a texter is because I don't have many phone contacts. Through the posts I publish and the thoughts I write online, I feel that I bring my contribution to the collective consciousness. That itself represents a comfort, knowing that I am a part of this conscious evolutionary movement makes me feel alive and gives me passion for life.

Welcome

Welcome to our Eng 100 Blog “Standing Ovation”! The title of this blog refers to the audience of active readers we are creating by sharing our academic writing for Eng 100 with a larger group of students, instructors, academics, and just about anybody who chooses to follow our blog! When you write and post your reader responses here (and, later, as you write your essays for the course), I encourage you to use this audience to conceptualize who you are writing for and, most important, how to communicate your ideas so that this group of academic readers and writers can easily follow your line of thinking. Think about it this way: What do you need to explain and articulate in order for the other bloggers to understand your response to the essays we’ve read in class? What does your audience need to know about those essays and the authors who wrote them? And how can you show your readers, in writing, which ideas you add to these “conversations” that take place in the texts we study?
As students of Eng 100, you will use this blog to begin conversations with other academic writers on campus (students and instructors alike). We become active readers of each other’s writing when we comment on posts here. And, best of all, we are using this space to share ideas! I encourage you to use this blog to further think through the topics and writing strategies you will be introduced to this quarter. As always, be sure to give credit to those people whose ideas you borrow for your own thinking and writing (you should do this in the blog by commenting on their post, but you will also be required to cite what you borrow from your peers/instructors if and when it winds up in your essays. More details on that later).
Finally, keep in mind that writing to and for this audience is a good way to prepare for the panel of readers (faculty at WCC) who will be reading and assessing your writing portfolio at the end of the quarter. I hope that as a large group of active readers, we can better prepare each other for this experience. But, in the meantime, let’s have fun with it!
