Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Diljot K. Ghuman and I am currently  in my fourth year. I am studying Political Science at UBC and I hope to finish my degree soon. I had initially wanted to pursue Law however, now that I’m towards the end of my degree I’m unsure if that is still the route that I would like to take. Nonetheless, I love what I am currently studying as it keeps me up to date with what is happening all around the world and the new policy’s being proposed.

A bit about me is that I was born and raised in Surrey and I grew up playing soccer for Surrey FC. Whenever I get time, I still go to Newton Athletic Park and play around with my friends. Sports have been a big part of my life and apart from soccer I have played Basketball, Volleyball, Ball Hockey for my school team throughout high school. I also used to do Karate and that is something I hope to pick up again soon. I’m currently a Screening Officer at YVR airport and I work there on the weekends. In my free time, I like to play golf and I love doing outdoor activities. I love to try out new cafes and restaurants with my friends.

I have recently started a book club in which we have monthly meetings and we try reading different genres. My favorite genre is romance and some of my favorites are Call It What You Want and Picking Daisy’s on Sundays. When I initially took this class, I thought we would be reading about romance, however, I quickly realized it is more romance literature and romance languages. This will be quite different from the readings I’m used to doing so I believe it will be challenging, however, I think it will also be fun and beneficial as I will be learning a new skill. My expectations for this class are to be able to read difficult text and actually be able to understand it. A lot of the time I’ll be reading something and I’ll have to reread it several times before I’m able to fully comprehend what the text is saying. I hope this class will help me learn skills to be able to comprehend text in the first try. Furthermore, I’m looking forward to reading the book and I like the idea of reading or getting to choose one book of your choice. The book I have chosen is The Shadow of the Wind.
