This essay explores the idiosyncratic nature of my personal walk. From horseback riding lessons to not-so-modest bikinis, the influences on my walk are many and varied.

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios
This portfolio is a collection of my favorite original pieces of fiction and creative nonfiction I wrote during my time as an undergraduate student at Cedarville University. One nonfiction piece I wrote, “Ice Cream Identity,” was published in the Summer/Fall 2013 edition of SNReview. All of my pieces reflect me trying to make sense of different areas of my life, moments I have been through or seen happen to others.

Allowing a writer to freely voice a concern …
