About the Author:
My name is Kory Damewood and I grew up in Kelso all my life, going to Butler Acres, Coweeman, then to Kelso High School graduating in 2013. My first job and current job is at the 15th Avenue Safeway as a Courtesy Clerk. I am not sure what I want my career to be in my life. I hope as the time comes I will figure it out. I like to spend time with family and spend nights playing Pinochle with them. As winter comes along my favorite thing to do is snowboard or read. As summer comes along my favorite thing to do is be in the water. My life goal is to find a career that I am passionate about and never wanting to stop that career. I don’t want to go into a career and then later find out that it isn't what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. Another goal would be to start a family after college and getting into a career. I want to find a career that will make for a good life where I don't have to struggle and have my family struggle.
My Strengths as a Writer: My strengths would be that I'm terrible at starting out writing but once I get going I don't stop and my ideas just flow. I would say another strength of mine as a writer would be to get the assignment done on time. If a paper is due in so and so time, I always turn the paper in on time. Procrastination is a problem with me but I would have to say that it helps me out more than anything. It allows me to feel pressured so I buckle down and focus on the assignment at hand to finish on time.
My Plans for Improvement: A skill that I want to learn is becoming better at BSing a paper at the very last second before it is due. It gives a skill to come up with ideas not just to get words down on paper but a skill to turn ideas into a main idea. I would like to learn more grammar to be a well rounded writer. I would also like to learn better ways of writing an essay. Like step by step ways to write a better essay and to come up with ideas.
