Yay for the Dominican Republic, Jinal! I spent last summer researching African American folktales, including lots of beautiful stories from the Caribbean. Now I just need to find a way to go visit there! SOMEDAY.
Hi! My name is Jinal Wani, I am twenty one years old and a third year undergraduate student here at the University of Oklahoma. I am currently studying health and exercise science in hopes of one day being a physical therapist or an athletic trainer. I grew up in Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb on the outskirts of Dallas. I grew up in a household with my mom, dad, brother and dog. My brother is a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in mechanical engineering. Although I am a third year student, this is only my second semester attending the University of Oklahoma. My first two years of undergraduate school were spent at the University of Texas at Austin, of course I just had to make the switch between the two most rivalous schools. I found myself in Austin to be very lost amidst the big city, and overwhelmed with the culture shock from my hometown to a busy part of town.

I am on the right track to achieve an A and I am satisfied with that amongst other things that I am getting out of this class.

I do enjoy working on my portfolio project and getting the chance to read other students' progress as well. Since I have been able to create a sufficient weekly schedule that corresponds well with my workload in other classes, I do not see myself making many changes this upcoming half of the semester. One thing I would like to ...
I believe the comments I receive from other students is overall very helpful. Personally, one of my favorite things about this class is to read other students' opinions on what I have written and getting to hear what suggestions they have. The comments I am finding to be most useful are those that give me a different perspective of my stories. Not everyone reads my story like I do so it is nice4 to receive comments that represent different point of views. Although reading comments happens to be one of my favorite things, giving comments is my least enjoyable. I have found that taking notes on other students' stories helps me write comments. I do feel like I have been able to get to know the other students through their writing. I am starting to recognize names because there have been stories that stand out and I am able to connect those to their author. My favorite "Feedback Cat" is the last one that states, "Feedback helps you know...ho...
