Ever since formal education became more than teaching kids how to read and write, a particular issue started to become more and more evident: English, mathematics and the sciences are more valued in schools than artistic abilities and disciplines like music and art, just to name a few.

It was that small, elementary book that made me hate reading. I read as little as I possibly could, just barely enough to get through…

I, however, had a different beginning to my writing career. Beginning early, with my writings of candy colored equines, changed and helped my early transitioning to academic writing. Therefore, thought the topic may be tedious, and very boring, I still manage to take some pleasure in writing. Unlike my peers who tend to groan or…

To Be or Not to Be: Proper Webster’s dictionary is a tool for survival. How else would one know how to spell autochthonous? Language was invented because communication is vital to our survival.
