My 1st story was written as a long poem. I illustrated it with my own drawings of the Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal. These were all places the nameless Boy in Blue took the young girl. It was for a class project. My 8th grade teacher liked it so much she kept it when I moved on to high school. In my sophomore year of college, during winter break I visited my 8th grade teacher & she returned to me my 1st story. Back on campus after the break I changed my major from Environmental Science to Creative Writing. My advisor said, “I feel that was your plan all along. I’m glad you’re done fighting it.”

Writing matters.
