Barak Obama, current president of the United States, is a huge inspiration to me. Meanwhile, the ethos at my college requires the highest standard of private education, permitting flexibility to explore and develop a variety of skills. Among these, the pursuit of excellence; a desire to explore creative approaches to problem-solving; a respect for diverse points of view; and a high level of self-motivation. If I do not understand something, I research until I do. When a system does not work for me personally, I step back and evaluate what approaches may be more productive.
Four years of work at a local daily newspaper, contributed to the development of my writing and research skills, which have been enhanced by my college's rigorous curriculum, a summer of academic research and a semester of work for a local journalist. In terms of creative writing, I took part in two creative writing workshops in the past three years. I currently write poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction sporadically. I would love the opportunity to practice my writing and hone my style, especially by exploring new genres. Work for you will sharpen my abilities and build my portfolio as I provide quality content and output. I pride myself on excellent work submitted in a timely manner. Below is a link to a short story I had published a few years ago. I can provide more recent samples upon request.
