Inspiring authors
Long ago when asked "what do you want to be when you grow" many things filled my mind. A fireman, an actor and a doctor all seemed like heroic careers that I would pursue. But now as my Freshman year of college comes to an end, a more realistic answer is expected. But is there a job out there more heroic than all of the super hero dreams I've had as a five year old?
