For the most part, I live in 24/7 technicolor. Moving about my world in extra-ordinary ways, marking and remember people, places events, to later write about and incorporate in my ever changing and blossoming imagination. Through-out this semester I have made new experiences and learned things I never thought! I would ever be able to relish 5 years ago. SO: Here is my new adventure. I have opened doors to new...everythings! And this is how I have grown as a writer and as a storyteller.

This fall I had great fun playing "Jojo" in Seussical the Musical! Jojo is a boy from Who who eventually saves the day with his great "YOPP!!!" But first HORTON THE ELEPHANT (A giant elephant from the JUNGLE OF NOOL) must convince all the other Jungle Creatures that the Whos ARE real, because after all "A person's a person, no matter how small!"

The experience showed me a lot about who I was as a person, and that thinking and living like a child is one of the most esteemed ways to live.

I can't begin to describe the things I have learned in this class. From swinging words together in beautiful harmony, to writing love poems for only myself to hear, to learning about new authors! Opportunities! BLOGS AND BOOKS GALORE! My writing and my flow of thought has forever been changed by the countless articles, videos, advice columns, and actual writing critiques I have read through and thoroughly enjoyed. I will now write with certain aspects of these in mind. Every time my pen touches paper, it does so with purpose, with reason, and is justified by my works of art and song.

So, ya know how they say every subject carries on into the other? Well, it's totally true. For me-It works like this. I'm in a band, a band makes music, so we WRITE. This class helped me express myself not only in dead-line type assignments, but outside of school work. Writing is essential in my life, I need it constantly to work and function not only as a writer, but as a musician in all my works!!!
