: About Me

Unfortunately, my resume of writing is rather short. At this juncture the only compositions I have written are high school and trade school term papers. In fact, the very thought of writing is quite difficult. My writing process tends to drain the energy right out of me because I am my own worst critic, constantly rewriting my work.

My passion is ...

volunteering with a number of organizations.

I know too much about ...

nothing. I am still young with many more things to learn.

My parents always told me ...

life is worth living.

My childhood ambition ...

was first to be a paleontologist and then a neurosurgeon.

My favorite memory ...

is a culmination of all the times I have spent with my family.

Why I write ...

I am searching for my place in life. My former English teacher, a role model of mine, suggested I might try writing.

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

Right now I am reading "The Catcher In The Rye" by J.D. Salinger.

My first job ...

was organizing file cabinets for a travel agency.

My best moment ...

was finally feeling successful, however late, in school.

My inspiration ...

For writing, it would have to be my former English teacher.
