I am a aspiring full time writer. It is really my dream to be able to teach kids and get them excited about reading again, with the growth in technology there is a lot to distract them from reading. I want my writing to the book/blog/short story that inspires them to keep reading, or peaks an interest in a certain area. This is why I am applying to The Odyssey because I want to reach a wide array of people and get them see the world from a different perspective as well as maybe learn about something too.
