For as long as I could remember I have never been the strongest writer. There has always been a strong place in my heart for the art of writing. I enjoy it very much and my goal is to become the best writer that I can be. Hard work and studying the craft over the years have increased my ability. Honestly, this first semester of college has been a test and has pushed me to further limits and heights in order to better myself. I can truly say that this year has tested me in many ways the road has been tough. I'm only anxious to what my future holds in my english 1102 class.
