Embracing everything that comes my way
I am a current college freshman with an English major and a double concentration in Creative Writing and Teaching. My biggest goal, as of now, is to get into a Graduate school in New York and pursue a Masters in either Writing or Teaching. The best word to describe me would be: dreamer, as my dreams are what motivate me to succeed in my education and give back to those around me. I plan on one day achieving my life long dream of going to New York City and publishing my first novel. I am disabled and have Cerebral Palsy, which luckily only affects me physically, but that definately will NEVER stop me from being a happy, bright, patient, hard worker.
My life motto is : No matter who you are, what you look like, whether you have a disability or not stand up for who you are and what you believe in and always keep fighting for your dreams for they are placed on your heart for a reason.
