This blog is a major component for Dr. Souder's Advanced Composition and Rhetoric 304. In this blog, I will respond to various Progymnasmatas and other rhetorical activities from our textook, "Ancient Rhetorics for Contemporary Students" by Sharon Crowley and Debra Hawhee.

My turn.

As you can see from my profile, my name is Sara Crowe. I'm a sophomore English major with a Professional Writing minor. I plan to continue with the Masters program CSU-Pueblo offers after I get my Bachelor's degree. I hope to be a college professor or a book editor. I have taught piano lessons for three years which initiated my love of teaching that I hope to carry on as a professor. I have always loved reading and writing in any forum and the idea of doing that for the rest of my life is very exciting. I hope to gain a more thorough understanding of the concept of rhetoric through Dr. Souder's class. Last semester I took English 303 Advanced Composition and Rhetoric where the primary focus was on composition and argumentation style. Through this course, I hope to further the skills I have started developing and gain the ability to speak and write using the concepts and tools I have learned.
I am involved in the English Club on campus as the Treasurer/Historian. Next year I hope to be President or Vice President and continue making the English Club an enjoyable organization. I am also a member of Sigma Tau Delta (International English Honor Society). I was a member of the Associated Students' Government as Senator for Residence Life. I have since resigned my position but continue to work with ASG in various activities around the state. I am currently working within the ASG cabinet as a Director of Higher Education and am planning rallies on campus and in Denver to continue awareness for higher education's need of funding from the state and federal levels. Being a student activist is extremely important because our voices determine the future of higher education.
