I believe in inspirational quotes, treating yourself as a priority, and the perfect balance of organization and spontaneity. I'm currently in the most crucial years of my life: early adulthood. In a midst of learning who I am every day and becoming who I want to be, I have to shape myself in a way that will prepare me for my future. I find writing to be a platform to share thoughts and feelings that have the power to change the world. Our interconnectedness through the global system is influenced by the media and the power of the people behind it. I want to be an Odyssey writer because I want to share things that spark readers' minds. I want to write that funny article that everyone relates to as well as that serious article that challenges readers' to think in new ways. I want to incorporate new perspectives in my writing that create conversation among my readers. Most of all, I want to share my personality with others in hopes of reaching the minds of my audience.
