My Journey to Discovery
When I was younger, I always found myself with a pencil and paper in my hand. I would leave marks on the paper in some form or fashion, whether it be scribbles, repetitive words, my name (or the names of family members), or random sentences that had nothing to do with anything. As I grew older, I would even find myself writing more than enough when it came to essays. I could never bring myself to leave out any details and I rarely used simple sentences.

Deciding tends to be very hard for me to do. That’s when I sought help from my mom. I scooched off the bed and made my way into the dining room area where she was solving a Sudoku puzzle. I asked her if she would mind helping me once she was done with her puzzle. She didn’t mind and she happily helped me out. Before we started, we had a quick conversation about what should go where. I took her advice and placed the things in the order she suggested. In the end, I was happy with the results.
