Language Investigation 3

As a child, I've always loved English. In Elementary School, fifth grade in particular, I was placed in 6th grade spelling. My friends and I in this group were the "Bees," as in spelling bees. This catapulted me into loving the subject.

My high school years were the most influential. After my dad died, I wanted to write a book that adolescents dealing with loss didn't have. I started writing journals and experiences and things I thought would help grieving teens. Teachers in high school helped me tremendously and I built on my writing skills through their guidance.
