The Rest is Still Unwritten

In light of everything that happened in my childhood I had some major personal issues to deal with. My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Judy Cripps, gave me a small journal (which I have to this day) and told me to write my feelings and thoughts down onto paper, whether they were happy or sad or even angry. In turn my passion for writing began. Mrs. Cripps showed me that it is okay to be upset and angry as long as I did not let it consume me; she showed me a way to channel my emotions, which helped me greatly.
