I've always loved to write stories. I really began writing when I was in second grade. My stories were mostly about me and my friends being the principals of schools. We would use them to fantasize about how we could torture students the same way we were tortured.

Throughout my childhood, I wrote many series of short stories. In fifth grade, there was the Turkey series and Farmer series. After that came the Jackelope series.

In junior high, I began writing my SRE Text Series, based on the online game "Solar Realms Elite." This was, and still is, the longest story concept I have ever developed. The original series had over fifteen installments.

By tenth grade, I had stopped writing so many series, and began writing a lot of individual short stories. In tenth grade, I wrote alot in my Writing II class, and the focus of my stories was to be weird. (That's always kinda been my theme)

In eleventh grade, I had Creative Writing, and there I wrote much longer short stories, some of them a little more serious than usual, but I tended to focus on comedy.

My senior year, I wrote a lot of articles for the newspaper. My articles tended to be editorials, but I did write a couple interviews, and some investigative-style stories. I also wrote more poetry in my senior year than I wrote during my entire life. A lot of it is pretty good, or so I think. I also experimented with lyrical writing, doing one song that I recorded with a friend.

Now I am a freshman in college. So far, I have not done any writing just for myself, but I have taken a lot of writing classes at school, and I am a paid staff member of the UMSL Current. I've done a lot of front-page news stories, speeches, and different types of papers for my composition class.

Writing is very important to me. I am considering becoming a print journalist or an elementary school teacher in the future. Maybe I'll do both during my lifetime. Whatever I end up doing, though, writing will probably be a part of it.
