Where it all began...Part 1

I have always loved English...heck(is that even a word?), even one of my more interesting speeches in highschool was "English is a crazy language". I am pretty sure that I got the idea from my sister who got the idea from her teacher who got the idea from the Reader's Digest.
I was too clever for my own good, and recycled a speech which I am sure that the English teacher had heard before. We both went to the same school. Not the same teachers, but if there is one thing I do know: teachers talk...a lot. I guess I must have got a pretty low grade for that one.

Essay writing progressed to diary writing...dangerous stuff really...can get you into all sorts of trouble...to a few pages penned in Taiwan, the plot to some international thriller which is long lost and long forgotten I'm sure. Fastforward a few years...I entered a competition in the Metro. You had to write a mini-story via text and it got published in the paper. What a thrill to see my name in print!
