About
My tenth-grade English teacher once told me, "You'll never be a writer. It's a good thing you're strong in Math." At 16, I believed him.
In 2025, I discovered the Guided Autobiography class at Bellevue College. On the first day, we received a prompt: 'Tell me about a kitchen from your childhood'. Words poured out from somewhere I didn't know existed. Forgotten memories and details surfaced. It was extraordinary.
I couldn't wait to start my homework—a two-page essay on a new topic. The following week we shared our work. I was captivated by the other writer’s voices and perspectives.
Week by week, our bond deepened through shared stories. After the eighth class, none of us wanted it to end. This process helped me to discover the writer who'd been dormant inside me all along. The experience was so transformative that I am now certified to teach this process.
