Achievements & Goals in writing 

For Catherine Balderrama

        "Learn from the past and share the experiences with others," Demi Lovato. I started out writing in a cheap little journal my go-time for Christmas. When I was growing up I had suffered from a lot of verbal and sexual abuse so the journal was a way for me to cope with what was happening. For me, the journal was my Narnia a place where I could escape from the world around me. So every day I would sit down write everything that happened that day because I couldn't tell anyone else all I had was myself. Even to this day, I have a journal I write in to help me cope with my past because now I suffer from PTSD (Post Trauma Stress Disorder). Writing this stuff down helps me not only mentally but helps become a better writer. 

           In the near future, I hope to have the guts to publish my journals so then I may be able to help other people that went through the same trauma. When I write in the future I want to write to help people I  want to write and be able, to tell the truth. I want to write to make a change in the world because there is so much that goes on in the world and no one is willing to stand up and tell the truth. When I write I want to be able to move people emotionally and when I write I want people to have the confidence to stand up for what they believe. I want them to believe they can achieve anything no matter what others say I want them to read my journal and after reading it jump and have the confidence to stand up for themselves. 

            Being able to get someone out of a certain habit or horrible lifestyle through your writing is an achievement to me and I want to be able to do that. I want to help people understand that they are not alone. I had an idea to create a newspaper where people can send in letters about their past trauma or experiences. I would keep it completely anonymous and what I would do is write about it the newspaper and hopefully when people see it they will know they aren't alone. I want to be able to move people's hearts and souls. My future goal is not just to help improve myself but to help improve others.
