I would always put off starting my essays until the day before, and because of that my grades would suffer. It wasn't until senior year of high school that I started actually trying to better myself as a writer.

During my life I have experienced these ‘journeys’ or ‘visions’ that happened inside my head while I was asleep, also known as dreams.
