Introduction

   Hi, My name is Ramone Bailey. I am a sophomore at Texas Christian University (TCU) from Kingston, Jamaica. An ironic thing about me is I tend not to talk a lot around people I barely know, but yet still my major is Communication Studies. I'm a track athlete at TCU. My events are the long jump, 100m and 200m. My favourite sport of all time is definitely Soccer. I chose to take this course because it's required, but I hope that by the end of the semester I hope that I will find reading more fascinating. 

   I don't read much at all unless it's for school but as far as writing is concerned, I occasionally write poems to test my ability to make people laugh through reading. I feel I can encourage people like myself who don't read a lot to find an interest in what I write so they can say they read something other than books for school. 

   I introduced myself as a Jamaican in the start because my blog will be about things that are normally said in the Jamaican dialect, Patois (it is pronounced "patwah"). I want to share just a little of my culture with the class. I also want to add that YES! I have seen the movie "Cool Runnings", I think it's an okay movie. 

I have read, understand, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus, which I see as a contract of our course.
