The first project in my WRITING PORTFOLIO. Last week I helped a student at Phoenix College perfect his already begun writing. We talked about it, rewrote some of it, added words, subtracted words. He was pleased with the final result and so am I!
WHO AM I?

– Lying in my bed I ask myself,
– Who am I?
– What does my name mean?
– Looking at the ceiling, with no thoughts..
– Then a thought strikes like a storm!
– …out of nowhere!
– Brayan Encinas is my name, I told myself.
– My name is unique!
– Spelling, people just don’t get it.
– It’s Brayan, BRAYAN. not b r y a n or b r i a n
– and not pronounced like any of those
– BRA -YAN !
– Things about me are: I’m an athlete,
– I care about things that matter to me.
– I’m pretty smart
– and good cook.
– I work hard.
– Its kinda weird you know, but I’m like my dad in many ways.
– He was a smart geeky kid in his youth.
– He would rather play sports than video games.
– However, looking back in MY childhood,
– I was a trouble maker!
– But football, soccer, or tennis, any ball would do
– to keep me occupied, so I would not get into trouble.
– Having a ball in my hand
– or playing a game with a ball
– helped keep trouble away.
– When it comes to cooking,
– I’m a chef!
– Mexican,
– Italian,
– Spanish.
– But I don’t want to BE a chef,
– i want to be a business man
– who cooks for pleasure!
– But, I guess I could take my love of cooking
– into a business in food management.
– Own a restaurant even.
– Or to a chain
– of restaurants!
– That’s a business man speaking.
– Have I answered my question?
– Who am I?
– I think so.
