Elementary years: Edited little brother’s letters to Santa, correcting spelling errors and adding clarity for the elves. Santa’s favorite color is red, so the red pen did the trick, resulting in a substantial haul for my bro despite antics that certainly could have landed him on the naughty list. 6th grade: Won an Arbor Day essay contest and got to talk trees with the governor, showing me that writing can capture attention and make an impact and demonstrating an early interest in protecting the environment.
