I am an Honors English student, and also have interests in Earth Science, sports, and music. It is my sincere hope that you enjoy my vlogs and take my opinions to heart (or not). Thank you for reading!

Vlog #1: Looking for Alaska
Readers,
I have recently immersed myself in the novel-writing of John Green, and have finished reading his novel Looking for Alaska. As a premise, the novel is about a male teenage protagonist named Miles who moves schools to attend a boarding school in Alabama. During his tenure as a student there, he meets Alaska, the main female protagonist; Chip, his roommate and eventual best friend; and many other characters. They socialize and do many things together, until a sudden twist in the middle of the novel sends Miles and his friends into a search for answers, namely, a search for closure. The book was the winner of the 2006 Michael L. Printz award for the best novel in teen literature that year, and was also a New York Times bestseller in 2012.
