The other day, Colton Cox, our managing editor here at the Odyssey challenged us to put ourselves in a recipe as a creative writing strategy and it proved to be more difficult than I thought it would be. So below, I combined all of my life experiences that come together to make Kaitlyn Kerrigan!
Ingredients:
- Some type of injury from falling
- 1/2 cup of tears
- A dash of sadness
- 1 cup of genuine
- 1 cup of kind
- 6 cups of coffee
- Lots and lots of Jesus
Directions:
1. Prepare ingredients in White House, Tennessee carefully but thoroughly.
2. Make sure you add braces when you hit the year of third grade, keep on until freshman year.

4. Go to Haiti at age 17 and cry even more because graduation is happening soon.
5. Go to college and become a giant Tennessee Vols fan\
6. Push through it all
7. Serve hot!
