 * My name is Mekhrona Rakhimova and welcome to my Wiki Space ! I am seventeen and for fun I enjoy figure skating, painting, being with my friends, photography, and traveling with my family. What a lot of people do not know about me is when I grow up I wish to pursue a career in dental hygeine. I am currently enrolled in the dental assisting program at the Virginia Beach Technical and Career Education Center. It is definitely a lot of hard work, but worth it. **


 * My favorite piece of writing would definitely have to be my American Dream essay, so make sure to check that out! It would have to be my favorite piece because it is what I wish my future to be. It is the personal hopes and dreams of my future that I wish to be bright. I really hope to reach my American dream someday. **

 * In the Poe parody assignment I took the classic story of __Red Riding Hood__ and put a dramatic twist on it, very much like Poe himself would. The version I came up with ends absolutely nothing like the original.
 * ** L3. Theme for English 11……………..(June 1, 2011) **
 * Theme for English 11 was a poem where we were given the first few lines and had to come up with the rest on our own. I enjoyed writing it. In my poem I focused on how care free life use to be as a little kid and how it has gotten a lot tougher since then.
 * ** L6. Creative Writing of Choice…………….(June 1, 2011) **
 * For my creative writing of choice I picked the poem we were instructed to write after spending some time outside near the track.

I chose to write about the bare trees I saw surrounding the tennis courts and how I wished they were full and green instead.

 * **My course reflection is about how I feel that I have grown as a writer throughout this whole year. It also covers my strong and weak points in writing, along with my views on Wiki Space opposed to paper porfolios. **
