Writing is something my life has been purposed to do, or maybe just because I’m always so passionate about it. When I wrote my first essay as requested by our third grade teacher (she asked us to write about our experiences during the last summer vacation), it was never my intention to impress anybody. I only just know of my writing potential when my teacher told me how very much impressed she was upon reading my work and encouraged me to write more.

But a couple of years prior to that, I’m a practicing bookworm. The exposure I had with books introduced so very early in my life (I started reading books under the age of five) may have been fueling more for such a passion I would later on embrace as a gift. Aside from nursery books, I was already reading illustrated historical books, fictional adventures, and many more than what most of my playmates would have been doing at that time.

Back then, writing was all about curiosity, expression, and appreciation. I could write a verse about the beautiful rainbow I saw in the sky, or of the chirping of the birds that sounded like music to my ears. Such a kind of sensibility I had for things around me was still true today as it was before.

What I was so passionate about could be used as a gift. I believe I have what it takes to encourage positive changes upon those who read my works.
