I am currently a student at CCSU, aiming towards my PhD in Psychology. Once upon a time, I sat before a woman whose main purpose for the hour, was to help me cope. She asked me how I was feeling, and I responded with a "One day, I'm going to have your job" She smiled, But I was serious. I have struggled tremendously as a child, due to countless troubles. As an adult, I hope to assist others as they enter into the battlefields of recovery. I write because I love it, because it frees me, because it is my air. When a work is complete, I look at it, and sincerely hope that it will touch at least one soul, this is my dream, this has always been my dream.

My greatest achievement thus far is today. I am smiling, and it is not counterfeit. I am finally able to see myself for the person that I am, and still hope to become. Once I wrote that “I am defined by my tears.” Today I write that I am defined by my years. It is my experiences that have provided the foundation for a solid structure. Through my writing, I aim to build a solid tower. One that will not only provide shelter to my own soul, but one that will become a place of solace for all who enter in. I am a survivor, but more-so, a lover of life, and all that it still has to offer.
