The first time I found fulfillment in writing was in the 2nd grade. I shared my story of 'Cinderella Squirrel' to my teacher, who must have found my work highly impressive for my age because she told me to go to the office and share it with the principal. I walked out of the principal's office with a handful of candy and a decent amount of gusto for a small 7-year-old Filipino girl. Since then, the rest is history. I have long chased the beauty of words, fitting them together like puzzle pieces after sticking my head in my family's old Merriam-Webster dictionary to learn more. And now, I present to you some of my musings.
