Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a writer. I write about any and everything literally every chance I get. I even carry a notebook with me in my purse or book bag in case I get inspired. Writing truly is my passion.

I've been writing, creatively, for as long as I can remember. The first award I got for my writing was in the first grade. I was awarded "Most Creative Poem". At the time I wasn't that excited or even had that much pride because, well, I was only six. Now that I'm older and can look back at that and many others like it, I can see how easily inspired I was at such a young age.

I feel like I have two passions: writing and teaching. I am a middle level education major with cognates in English and Social Studies. I really enjoy teaching and helping students grow academically and as individuals, but writing is my first love.

Any time I can write about anything, I leap at the chance. I believe that teaching is my calling, but I believe writing is, too. I'm always curious to know how my writing will change my life or the lives of others. I think it's meant for me and I'm blessed I have found both of my passions at such a young age.

So my question is: what's your passion? What truly makes you happy and brings you an immeasurable amount of joy? If you don't know what it is, yet, I encourage you to find out. Explore different things, try new hobbies; just figure out what you love and never give up on it. Too many people let their passions die because it's too hard or doesn't guarantee a high salary, but who cares about money when your passion is involved? Live your life filled with ambition and passion so when you look back, you'll have no regrets.
