I went to college to get into the medical field so I could work with children who were growing up with heart disease like I was.  I didn't do well in my math and science courses, however, and knew I had to pick another field.  I was heartbroken.  But my sister pointed out how much I love writing and said "why don't you do that?" Thanks to her, I switched my goal to writing, and earned my BA in Mass Communications-Journalism.
