Being able to create my own written adventure has always been a dream of mine. My desire to do so have driven me to put countless hours towards scribing a story that is personal, potent, and mine. I find writing to be an outlet for my creative and a long-term goal wrapped into one. I'm proud to say that I truly give it my all…

Literacy is the ability to read and evaluate content in a unique way of thinking, along with the aptitude to write and reflect upon a story, topic, or a piece of art. Throughout my life my literacy has evolved and changed into what it is today, a freshman in college writing 101.
