My name is Donovan Fountain. I am 31 years old male my native language is English, I served in the United States Army for 8 years after High School, in which I was a Human Resource Specialist(42A) (SGT) and Heavy Vehicle Operator (88M). I enjoy doing a lot of physical activity as I grew up lifting, running and pulling things, where I grew up this was our fun so naturally my first love was football , which is what I was originally focus on after high school , but during that time I was blessed with a wonderful daughter that I love dearly ,who is now 12. I'm studying Healthcare Management here at Delaware County Community College, where I was recently inducted in the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) as President of my chapter. When it comes to working in healthcare my interest varies because the passion I have for helping others, helping has put me in different parts of healthcare as to now work in Respiratory Therapy and I also work with Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation w/ mental illness (Dual Diagnosis). My plan is to be the Director of a facility and eventually start a program of my own for kids outreach or open some recovery homes for those that are suffering from drug and alcohol addiction who wants to get their life in order.
As far as writing goes I don't write at all but I like writing if that makes sense, but I say that to say this that's why I don't have a favorite writer but I feel as though all that is about to change , I feel this course is something that I need . I do like reading poetry but its not something I do on the regular , its something that if I see it I'll read and read then I may not read it again for a while. Social media, I don't have social media my blog is my first form of social media .Most of my writing takes place through text message but lately I've been hammering the paper and the laptop and I like it.
I usually write on my laptop when I am doing an assignment for class. But once I begin to write I am into what I write and I want to reach the audience.
Why do I write? For inspiration, read this piece: Why I Write (Joan Didion) I write to express feeling and to get better because I don't feel as though I am a good writer but I'm great at accepting challenges and I'm looking forward to getting better in this course.
How have my past experiences shaped my author identity and how can I reshape my author identity in this course?My past experiences shaped my author identity by opening up a sense of transparency and letting it flow letting emotions happen and not blocking them, embracing whatis natural and pure.
