My Introduction

My name is Marcus Howell and I am a third year student at UH. I am from Houston and have lived in the Houston area my whole life. My family lives in The Woodlands so I am there very often. I have been writing for a while and I am comfortable with it. My mom is a teacher and has been since before I was born so I feel that has helped with my writing ability. I have not done much writing outside of school though. I like writing but I do not seem to include it in everyday activities. Maybe that will change? I have always done relatively well on school related writing assignments (essays, research papers short stories) so I think that has prevented me from disliking the idea of writing for fun. I really can't think of anything that you might need to know to teach me better, but I hope you enjoy the writings and I look forward to learning a little more about poetry. As far as interesting things about me, My mom was the mascot for UH before she graduated. I have also been struck by lightning. No special powers so far, but we will see.
