I have been writing ever since I could remember into my youth. I was as young as 8 when I first started writing stories and impressing my friends. I have always had a passion for writing, and this is one personal reason why I decided to make my career.

In high school I was flourishing with my writing skills. During this time, it was majority poetry and I would get ideas at the drop of a hat. This was a great time for me to be writing. However, once I entered college I started to peak out in my creativity and found it harder to write on the spur of the moment.

This year, I will begin taking classes at Eastern Illinois University. It has a superior Journalism program among state schools, and I think it will help me progress in my writing.

This is the year of transition for me. I will be leaving an old job for a new one, leaving my friends and my support system nearly 5 hours away. I will be on my own, and while I'm scared, nervous, anxious all-in-one-I've never been so excited in my life. This new adventure is something I can dig into, and I'm ready to step up to the challenges that come my way.

I have never taken my talent for granted, but instead found it to be a blessing. It has carried me through tragedies I have endured and helped me triumph through adversity. Writing is my emotional outlet, and without it-I don't think I'd be who I am today.

I hope some of my trial and error techniques benefit you as well.

First, read the material assigned to you in the syllabus. This is vital to your time spent as a student...
