This Is Me

    As an introvert, I love to unwind with a good book and a cup of tea. My long-term love for books and the written word has led me to discover my passion for writing. 

    Having a career as a writer is what teachers and parents have always expected of me. Not in a controlling way, but because they saw my talent and love for writing. I remember my fourth grade teacher told me that she could not wait to see a novel with my name on it on the shelves. However, as obvious as the idea of me pursuing a career in writing was to others, it took me years to see a similar possibility. 

    I am currently pursuing my associates in general studies at LBCC. I am still trying to discover what sort of writing related major I wish to pursue next. I'm taking this feature writing class so that I can get a taste for journalism and writing for a newsletter. I hope to travel internationally and attend a foreign university for my masters. 

    If I had to set three goals for myself over the course of spring term, they would revolve around strengthening my writing skills. One goal is to continue to push myself through the term in order to learn a new style of writing. Another goal would be to craft a process that works best for me while writing. A personalized process that helps me to get through the brainstorming, drafts, revising, and editing phases. A third goal of mine would be to collaborate with my peers and professor during revising and editing. I take value in feedback and how it can help form finished pieces, as I often have a blind spot when it comes to my own writing. 

    Attached is a photo of just one of the many cozy places that I have found to read in over the years. This particular spot is under the loft bed I had and it is stocked with all my favorite books and lots of pillows.
