This is my first blog post introducing myself!
Personal Information
My name is Anna Mialky and my preferred pronouns are she/her.
I am from Granville, Ohio.
There are a few things you may not know about me. I am a Junior here at John Carroll and I am majoring in English and education. I have two little sisters and two golden retrievers who I love very much. I love hiking, listening to music, and I am a huge coffee addict. I am involved with the Sweet Carrolines and campus ministry here at JCU. I am a member of the retreat team and I am currently preparing for an immersion to El Salvador as well through campus ministry.
Learning Style and More
For me to be comfortable taking creative and intellectual risks, I must have a comfortable relationship with my professor and peers. I want to feel as if I can suggest different ideas without being judged. I prefer conversation based classes because I gain comfortability speaking up and voicing my opinions.
Lately I have been reading a lot of Colleen Hoover novels. I read a few of her books over the summer because they are perfect summer “beach reads.” I read It Ends With Us, All Your Perfects, November 9, and more. I just started reading Reminders of Him!
