About Me

I always wanted to have a gigantic vocabulary! The more words I learn, the more I can use to aid my essays. Think of it like a pizza involving writing conventions: figurative language, punctuation, grammar, and complex sentences play a great part. The pizza has all it's ingredients, but one important key factor is missing:Grandma's Special Sauce! I can't make a pizza with tomato sauce, and I can't improve my writing skills without a diverse amount of words in my arsenal. I guess vocabulary.com and I will embark on a journey to find Grandma's Special Sauce, and perfect a secret recipe.

Favorite Quote:

"“‘Everybody knows they’re going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently,’ Morrie said. ‘So we kid ourselves about death,’ I (Mitch) said. ‘Yes, but there’s a better approach. To know you’re going to die and be prepared for it at any time. That’s better. That way you can be actually be more involved in your life while you’re living. . . Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, ‘Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do?"
