So this will be my third year participating in the Breast Cancer Walk in Nashville, TN. I have walked the previous two years being quite out of shape. This year I am in shape with working out occasionally at the gym and from having my job be more physically demanding on me.

Next year I am determined to be better at the whole running and breathing thing so my side isn’t killing me after two minutes.

I think it’s a realistic goal….

It’s something that we all do eventually. In the past year I have grown so much as a person both emotionally, physically, and mentally. I have become more dependent on myself than others. (Not to say I don’t need to have friends, family, and the boyfriend in my life. I love them in my life!!!) But I have spent a lot of this year learning how to be Amber. And I think that it has been one of the most important lessons that I have learned this year.

It has only taken me almost 23 years to do so….

I decided that I wanted to be a writer when I was 8 years old. It began with me writing short stories with my friends as the characters. I would write mostly scary stories with my influence at the time being from “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”. Come, on! I was 8!!!

I wrote several short stories for English classes in middle school and high school and my teachers often raved about my writing abilities. I am majoring in college for a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism with a concentration on Newspaper and Magazines.
