A Childhood Calling to Help
From a young age, there was a strong desire to both engage in the arts and to help others. This innate urge to assist others emerged early in elementary school, with a repeated declaration to a mother about a need to help. As the speaker grew, they juggled aspirations of being a singer or an emergency room doctor, eventually realizing they might not have the talent or academic aptitude for those paths. Despite this, a love for reading remained constant, shaped further by impactful literary experiences, such as their teacher reading ‘The Purpose Driven Life,’ which revealed how writing could evoke profound emotions.
