Writing was an epiphany in itself, and the day the thought entered my head of becoming a writer was the day that my world changed.

The interesting part with this however,…

I was a freshman and my Spanish teacher gives us an assignment. I must read the book “Marianela” by Benito Perez Galdos and write an essay. I read the novel I was fascinated by the story.

Even though I signed up for a creative writing class and my first experience in the class was poetry, I am curious to see where the assignments will unfold. What a pleasant surprise to realize that my greatest wish to become a prolific writer is about to be realized. Besides, I like the quote “Please do not allow the spinning mind, with its inexhaustible genius for resistance, to keep you from writing the poems suggested in each chapter.” (v) I have been telling people that I did not choose my…
