I always liked to write and found out that I had a passion for it in high school, we wrote essays enough throughout high school but my sophomore English teacher had us write in a journal that she would check on Fridays (yeah like Freedom Writers). We also wrote a paper every once and awhile that was solely based on our own thoughts and ideas; writing those few papers were a challenge but looking back probably my favorite moments in high school (in respect to class work). A similar project in college affirmed my feelings and so with some hesitation I finally joined this site.
