Michelle's Story
When I graduated I wanted to be a nurse. After that didn't work out so well, I went to school to become a vet tech. Math and metrics didn't agree with me, so I changed my major to English and finally got my BA in English/Creative writing. Since I discovered how much I enjoyed writing poetry, I joined a local group of poets, one of whom encouraged me to become a substitute teacher for the LAUSD.

Writing poetry - many times about animals - releases my creative side that I could never bring out when I was taking scientific courses. My goal in my writing is to be published (for pay), although I've been published many times in local chapbooks and anthologies.
