Wow, thank you so so SO much to everyone who has thus far contributed. You are all so incredible and I feel lucky to have each and every one of you in my life!
It's been suggested that I share a little more information about my vision for school, so that you can all know a little bit more about what you're helping to support!
After a three-year process of weighing the pros and cons of college, searching my life-long unschooler soul to make sure I really wanted to go, researching schools, taking the GED (no highschool diploma!) and navigating the maze-like application process, I was accepted to Mills College in Oakland, CA - a small, all-women liberal arts school that I feel completely thrilled about attending.
I will be studying my two lifelong passions: creative writing and psychology, with the intention of one day becoming a therapist focusing on mindfulness, somatic and creativity-based approaches, along with being a professional writer "on the side." That's how my path looks right now, but who knows how it will take shape as I go!
Again, my deepest thanks for contributing to this dream. I will take you all with me in spirit!
Love,
Rebecca

About This Blog
- Rebecca
- Portland, OR, United States
- This is a space for writing of every developmental stage to be shared, not just the polished, "publishable" poems with nice shoes and good manners, but the ragged toddlers and ugly teenagers as well, the awkward, in-between poems that might languish indefinitely in a forgotten folder on my computer, were it not for this space. This blog is a way of confronting my inner critic and allowing the reader to glimpse my creative process in a more intimate and honest way than if they were to simply read a fully formed poem, without knowing the many stumbles and unsightly metaphors needed for each piece to truly find its own authentic voice.
