About

I'm a student at the University of Arizona. I'm a biology major, my ultimate goal is to get into medical school. However I'm seriously considering a minor in English or even creative writing. I love to write, obviously. I'm the eldest of four kids. My family although religious is pretty liberal. I'm a pretty open minded person, and I love life.
I like writing pretty much anything as long as I feel passionately about the subject and I get to have a say in it. Most of my stuff is either fantasy or memoirs based on my own life. I like writing poetry but not nearly as much as writing stories.

Interests
Sports, mostly basketball. Anime is a must, I'm a total nerd for that stuff. I actually used to hate anime, but then one summer I was so bored that I got into it finding that it was actually amazing. (Clannad is probably my favorite one)
I love to cook and bake stuff.
I love art of all kinds, movies, photography, paintings, writing, music, ballet, plays, you name it.
I like psychology and behavior studies, they're interesting.
I love classical music, i play the piano and the cello.

Light is Brighter in the Dark

Two people brought together impossibly after so many years of hardship.

The light is always brighter in the darkness."Get off your ass and do your chores!" The big man smelled of liquor. The flannel of his shirt was stained. The little boy knew better than to argue with his father.The little boy got up from his spot on the filthy living room floor and muttered, "Alright, alright." The wash needed to be hung outside since the dryer broke. It was all Mary's fault. She was dad's girlfriend. Some...
