Italy sounds amazing, I've always wanted to go there. Have you gone yet?
I've been doing all right
I've got my driver's license, I'm the president of a Literary Magazine, the Literary Magazine I worked on last year as Prose Editor received a gold award yesterday, I'm joining the League of Authors in my area, I'm working on my third book, and I've decided after I'm done with high school I'm serving a LDS religious mission for 1.5 years before starting college. I'm going to study Creative Writing in college, and I feel confident I will love it for the rest of my life. I would like to get an MA in Creative Writing, and eventually teach in a university setting, but for now that's a little up in the air. I might end up teaching High School, or something else. We'll see
But I feel firm in my choice to study what I will be studying.
All this, I think, has seemed from you, and your kind words when I was young and shy of my writing. You fanned the flames, and helped me see I have a true talent and love for this. I have no idea what I would be doing right now if you hadn't given me that little spark that started with your kindness. I really don't. I owe you so much! Thank you.
