My childhood ambition ...

To be a psychologist

My favorite memory ...

Is dancing during my childhood

Why I write ...

It is all I have ever wanted to do

Everyone and everything around me

I will weave myself in her quilted tapestry, Sewn together by the boundless eternity that demands I love her."
