Writing has been the most comfortable and artistic way I have found to communicate. Naked words, vulnerable and bold, show one’s honest voice; and stripped of confusing colloquialisms that often plague our ears, writing offers a rare clarity and permanence in a confusing and temporary world. I have come to feel at home when I’m […]
When someone enters their senior year of High school, what could be the first thought that pops into their head? “Yes! This is my last year of school!

I’m tuned into the rhythms of rainfall, the dance of snowflakes and […]
I am an aesthetic: I have to admire the impeccably dressed mannequins making their debut in department stores and the contoured lines of that perfect dress.

I’ve been considering which school can be probably the most helpful to me, and I imagine that Southwestern is the correct alternative. I’ll begin by telling you about myself.
