I've been a writer since age 8, my teacher took time to nurture my love. She left our town after grade 3. Mrs. Skinner if you see this, THANK YOU! My life's not been roses, it crashed down around me 6 months ago, but that has only served to strengthen my faith, courage, belief in myself and love of my art. I'm not perfect, I'm flawed just as all on earth, but I'll get through. I'll grow and I'll overcome the trials this world can send us. Most of all I will continue to write!
