particularly because no one in my family has. From an early age, my parents have made me self-aware of my future; my education and dedication in the present will translate into future successes.

In Kevin Wilson’s collection of short stories, Tunneling to the Center of the Earth, Wilson brings characters to life and some of them have their own awakenings. When asked about his writing process, Wilson states that “I usually start with an image or a line and work from that, building a story to support it” (P.S. 10).
