: About Me

My passion is ...

all forms of expression...especially creative writing, dance, and music.

I know too much about ...

nothing...I'm always learning, so I could never know too much about anything.

My parents always told me ...

I could do anything I put my mind to.

My childhood ambition ...

to become a corporate lawyer...I haven't been to law school yet, but it could happen!

My favorite memory ...

was the day I picked up my daughter Princess Taylor Mae and took her home for the first time. She was the prettiest Toy Poodle ever! I miss her so much!

Why I write ...

to express things I may not be able to say out loud. My true thoughts and feelings come out in my writing.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

anything by Alicia Keys

My first job ...

was at Wendy's during the summer of 1999...I didn't eat there again until I went to college 3 years later

My best moment ...

graduating from Indiana University. I am the first and only person in my family to go to and graduate from college.

My inspiration ...

is myself...I have so many goals in life and if no one else believes in me I know I do.
