About Me: Read My Story

After graduating high school in 2009, I felt indecisive about my future. On the one hand, I knew that college was not for me. On the other hand, I knew that if I did not go to college, it would devastate my mom. So, as you can imagine, I felt stuck. I had to choose between disappointing my mom or doing what was best for me.

And so, despite my doubts, I chose to go to college. While attending Community College Of Philadelphia, I didn’t do my best. I spent more time skipping my math class and socializing with friends -rather than focusing on my studies. And so, ultimately, I decided to call it quits with college.

After calling it quits, I got a job in retail. While working in retail, I started thinking about my writing skills. And how, in high school, I would help my classmates with their writing assignments. Because for as long as I can remember, English has always been my best subject in school. So, I started to look on Craigslist for some writing gigs.

Within a few months of looking, I found some gigs and started writing for various magazines and online publications. Some include Main Course Magazine, Txture Magazine, Style Equation Magazine, and more.

After a few years of writing for various publications, I got approached by a friend to start a blog. At first, I blew off the suggestion as a joke. Because in my head, I thought, ‘Why would I start a blog?’. But after giving it some thought, I figured why not give it a shot because I had nothing to lose.

And so, after doing some research, I created my first WordPress blog. Once I started blogging, I realized how much I liked it -and fast forward over five years later, and I am still enjoying the blogging journey.
