Sitting here thinking about one of my all-time favourite movies. Anne of Green Gables.. When I go back to the day I first watched it, at 4 years old. That the moment I saw this movie. I knew that I wanted to be just like her. She grew up and became a teacher, then went on to be a writer. Just like the author of Anne Lucy Maud Montogomery. I thought it was so much later that I decided I wanted to eventually be a writer and publish my book one day. In the 6^th grade is when I got into my writing. That is also when I started to notice my love for helping younger children. My two favorite things had started to make an impact on me. I even did a speech that year about Lucy. As the years went on and I moved on to high school. I continued to write and volunteer with younger children. From 2008 until 2017 is how long I continued to focus on molding the minds of young children. I started to notice some things happening to myself when I found myself a little stressed out in something I love to do so much. So 2017 is when I decided to take time off to focus on myself and what I needed. I started writing again slowly. It has picked up more over the last year.  Last year when the pandemic started. Also when I realized that it's time,  to start on my other dream. I spent the first chunk on molding minds and helping young kids. Why not take the time I have now and make things happen. Since September I have been slowly working on several different pieces. Writing daily and as of a few weeks ago my blog. I am for once okay where my life is slowly going professionally.  I look forward to completing every writer's dream I ever had
