To be alive is to make our hope tangible.

Last week I visited my sophomore English teacher. She told me that college, and life itself, is a journey that is made up of many paths.
I must embrace this continuous change and be open to redirection.
Then she offered this advice to me: "You know, you could always write a book. I know there are ideas in your head that people would like to read about."
It scares me to death that the future is so full of possibilities. I am so young and idealistic. At the same time I fear dreaming endlessly, I also fear reaching a point where I dream no longer. I cannot imagine what this would mean.

"Writing is a struggle against silence." -Carlos Fuentes
