my first artistic expression was the first fiction story i wrote. i had known through a teacher that i had some talent when i put experiences on paper. being the brave, little ten-year-old i was, i decided to experiment with writing a little more. i sat down at my computer, thought about an idea, and letter by letter, word by word, a story was written. it took a couple of weeks, but finally, i finished it. by this time, school had stated up again, and with that, the reflections contest had started as well. i said, “what the heck? i’ll enter; what’s there to lose?”
a few months later, the school had an assembly to announce to winners of this contest. the thought came nowhere near my mind that i had a chance of winning. well, i listened during the writing awards and needless to say, they called my name. that’s when i realized maybe i did have a talent for this; maybe in a way, i was an artist learning how to express herself.
