Hi my name is Syed Hussain, and I prefer to be referred to as “Hamza”. I was born in the United States, yet I have only stayed about half of my life in the country. The other half I spent I Pakistan, where I was raised and educated in the earlier parts of my life. I moved back to USA during 6th grade, and was generally quite unfamiliar with the new system of education and lifestyle, and most importantly, I was very unfamiliar with the new language. However this changed very soon when I made leaps and bounds in English class, not only learning how to speak properly, but also learning how to do minimal essay and short-answer writing. In 7th grade, my English had improved to the point where I was one of the few people in the class level to receive an English award for excellence. My next major growth year was sophomore year of high school, a high level English class that completely revitalized and enhanced my writing skills. I was taught how to write in various formats and improved so much that I soon had multiple requests to edit essays for them. I hope to learn more writing skills through this course and learn how to analyze and develop different forms of writing.
Aside from my English career, I had other developments as well. I always held interests of different natures and explored newer things in hopes of learning a little bit of everything. I was always an avid reader but I also partook in online gaming and athletics. I love to read science fiction and fantasy novels because they allow me to live many lives, and I loved action-packed and adventurous games that kept me busy throughout each day. I also played a multitude of sports, such as cricket, soccer, football, and volleyball. I also followed many different interests throughout high school and always stayed busy and interested. The following picture is one of my favorites because it helped strengthen me during my times of loneliness.
