It is my intention to dedicate more time to my writing as I am happiest when I do that. I get frustrated if I don’t get time to write. The plan is to take two hours after teaching each day to write. I also intend to publish a chapbook of poetry this year and find more outlets for writing and speaking. I pray that more opportunities will come my way.
