A Writer..

     Ever since I can remember, I've had a pen in my hand. It started when I was given my very first journal. I don't remember exactly how old I was but I remember my mom giving me a Winnie the Pooh journal and telling me that I can write anything I want in it.  So since that very day I've been writing journals. In Middle School, I used to write little mini stories and poems. Leading right into High School, I tried to take classes that I was interested in. Mostly english and writing classes were something that I loved. Creative Writings really brought out my love for writing little short stories it would be about anything and everything.

     In High School, I told myself that I was really going to find out what I wanted to do with my life. I didn't realize how important finding out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life until my Junior Year. I slacked off Freshman and Sophomore year, which I regret. I didn't actually take my studies seriously. Junior year, I buckled down and told myself that the next two years of my High School career were very important.

     I flip flopped from different careers, I wanted to be a massage therapist for a while until I wanted to become a chef. Then I told myself that I wanted to be in the Navy because I was in NJROTC. Then, I sat down one day and really thought about something that I truly loved. Writing was the things I loved the most.

     For the very reason why I started this blog. I wanted to expand my writings, get more writing out and onto something that I can go back and read them forever. Now that I've been able to graduate and get into the "work" mode of my life I want to focus on my studies again. I enjoy learning, and if I can succeed in life with writing, it's something I want to do.

     So i'm going to make sure that I start looking for pell grants, or anything that will help me further my education.
