: About Me

Hello,everyone. I want to take this time to say how much I appreciate Helium for opening up its doors to people like myself who like to write. I've been writing ever since I've been in middle school, and it was a way for me to express what I felt inside, and it gave me comfort during the rough spots of my life. I continue to grow as a writer. I don't mind constructive criticism. You can't get good at something if you don't want to hear anything negative.

My accomplishments are subtle. Yet, I feel that I've grown as a person,from all the things that I've been through. My first article was really just to share information that I thought could help someone. I will continue to do that no matter what. It's wonderful when you can help other people.
