Introduction

My name is Michael García Mercado I’m 18 years old. I’m currently coursing my first year of college in the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras Campus. I am majoring in Natural Sciences and plan to someday study medicine. I’m enrolled in the Literature of the Human Condition course as a part of the English Department and requirements of my curriculum. This blog will showcase many of my work from the class.  I believe writing is an escape. For me is a way to showcase ones creativity and imagination. Each and every one of us has stories inside and we must tell them. Some choose song, or poetry and others the written word. I believe through a series of essays, short stories and compositions I can influence people, change perspectives, give my opinion and just express what I feel. I aspire to learn of literature and the art of writing as much as I can during my years of college life. I’m really passionate about what I feel and the best way to understand those feelings is to write them down. By letting the ink flow and the pen move I allow myself a sense of freedom from any struggle or obstacle I may face. Through the first part of this course I developed better writing habits and skills. Now I must keep writing in order to grow as a writer and person. I aspire to study a second major in literature so that maybe in the future I can also make a career of this passion I have for writing.
