Overview
Who would think that the dull-colored green and off-white encyclopedia set that was shelved across from my bed when I was growing up would influence the person I have become today? When I was younger, I would take those books down and read until I fell asleep. From an early age, I developed a deep love for reading and writing that still exists today. It has always excited me to know that I could be influenced by another person's words to the point that I could laugh, cry, share, and sing. I was an only child, and those books were my friends. What I read in them excited me, and sometimes I would write those exciting thoughts down on paper. In essence, the prose and poetry I read gave me a voice in my own writing.
