I am a 22 year old writer, working to get published. My goals are to write and teach Literature. I attended Penn State for a BA in Literature. I didn't complete, though I am working to raise the funds to go back and complete my degree. I've had a passion for writing poetry and songs for as long as I can remember. I performed an original poem that started as a class assignment for my parents when I was seven, and I wrote my first short story in second grade. It was a horror tale of children being attacked by the witch that lives down the street while trick-or-treating on Halloween, and their epic escape from her haunted house. I wrote two more short stories as a Sophomore in college consisting of adult topics, lies, crimes and decite. I completed and participated in several open-mic events. I was a youth member of the Philadelphia Youth Poetry movement. As a Junior in college I completed a rough draft of a poetry book I plan to get published. I also like to sing, draw and perform.
