As a
writer, I am slow as a snail if I have no deadline. Otherwise, I will keep a
story outline brewing in my mind for days, weeks, months, or even years. The
tension slowly builds up and finally I will sit down and begin writing down the
ideas and try to start my piece. The following are College stories or poems that
did have deadlines and are finished products. Some of these may be about painful
experiences and were hard to write, much less read again.

| Shadows in the Woods This is a poem that I created from memory of my childhood. My cousin and I were in our young years, around ages seven. We always ran through the woods in search of bears and never quite got one since we were frightened off by every sound. |
Legacy This is an essay I wrote with my mother in mind. She has gone through so much and I wanted to show her how proud I was of all her achievements. |
| Shell This poem is supposed to be read slowly, a replica of people and how even with all our faults, we are still special |
That Damn Motorcycle This story is based on the morning we found out my father had been killed in a motorcycle accident. I have been told many times that it made readers cry, so view at your own risk. |
