Well, I used to write little poems in my journal back in elementary school. I stopped after a while. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I took this class called Creative Writing. The teacher was a little harsh on grading but I learned that it was of his nature. We would write short stories, poems, and other types of writing. My English teacher gave me the courage to read in front of an audience and to continue writing. So here I am today. I have a passion for writing and I love to read.
