Hello!
My name is Billie-Jalese Cramsey, I am an eighteen-year-old freshman at Penn State University, Main. My intended major is Psychology and I plan on being a pediatric therapist after I graduate. When I was sixteen, I was diagnosed with Leukemia, and being in the hospital for all that time is what got me really into writing. I would journal and write novels to pass the time, and now writing and language is a passion of mine. I’m not new to blogging, I actually have a personal writing blog of my own that currently has over 500 followers, so I consider writing to be one of my biggest strengths as a student.
This is my blog for RCL 1 for the 2021-2022 school year. RCL is a class that focuses on public communication. This blog has two sections: RCL, meaning rhetoric and civic life, and PAS, meaning passions. Under the RCL section of my blog, I will be discussing the communication behind some issues in the nation that mean a lot to me. Under the PAS section of my blog, I will be discussing and analyzing the songs from some of my favorite music albums that I listen to on repeat almost daily.
