Intro to "I am a Husky, We are Washington"

This piece about community is included in my portfolio as a “writer’s choice” because without it the reader would not fully know me as a writer. This piece was originally posted in my blog as a writing about community. As I wrote it, I realized that this piece connects the three themes of our class: identity, community, and tradition. One of the things I identify most with is Husky football. I was raised a Husky fan and I think that connection to a community and the tradition involved in college sports has shaped who I am as a person, such as competitive, loyal, athletic, and sports fanatic. A line from my writing best describes me “These die-hard fans literally bleed purple and gold!”
