I love writing.
It truly is my passion to combine words together that
will prod out an emotional response from others. I hope that it will cause
people to become active and change themselves into true and honest peace. I
also hope, that with all my flaws, that I can show God’s glory and encourage
someone to not give up on the race to godliness.
I have finally made the decision to go back to college. I
will be going to a community college to get my general education, and then I
hope to transfer to a university to get my degree in – you ready for it? Journalism.
I know, I know – ‘It
took you how long to make that decision? ‘
I’m slow; you all should know this by now.
To be honest, I always had dreams of writing and possibly
selling a few things here and there. But I never really thought about making it
my career. Last summer was when I first really started to pursue the thought of
going back to school. At first, I thought of going into Business/Marketing. I
did social media marketing for a few years, and I was pretty good at it.
However, Aunt Stella had other thoughts. “Marketing? No, you need to go into
Journalism.” She said it so nonchalant. It was a no-brainer what I should
go to school for. And yet, it honestly never crossed my mind.
Now, a year later, I am finally going back to school -
and Aunt Stella was right. She always is.
It’s funny. You know as a kid you’re always asked what
you want to be when ‘you grow up.’ My
response for the longest time was a veterinarian.
But before that, an artist and a writer. Even at a very
young age I had a passion to write and to create. After all these years, I’m
finally taking the steps to achieve my childhood fantasy. And one day I will
achieve it, I will be a ‘writer.’
At least I’m going to give it my best shot.
And if I don’t succeed.
I’ll blame Aunt
Stella. Ha ha.
