Hi everyone!

My name is Asia Rooks. I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA and my major is journalism. I’m an aspiring singer/song writer with a great passion for writing. I absolutely love to write, it really is like therapy for me. It’s a way for me to express myself, escape from real world issues and get lost in whatever fantasy my pen creates. I enjoy writing music, books, screenplays and any form of creative writing. I don’t mind admitting that I currently don’t have it all figured out and I’m not exactly sure what I plan to do with a journalism degree. I do know that I’m defying my parents and the beliefs that they’ve instilled in me by not attending a big university and becoming a lawyer, doctor or engineer. However, I don’t think everyone’s blueprint for success is the same and I’m confident that because of my thirst for success and hunger for happiness, I will prosper. Of course, like most of my fellow class mates,I registered for this class because it was required. However, after attending class , meeting the instructor and reading the syllabus, I must admit I’m  excited for this semester. I get a deep rooted  feeling that this class will help me become the outstanding writer I aspire to be. I’m looking forward to meeting new people, creating memories and writing a new chapter in this book called life. The journey will be all but easy. Yet, it will be more than worth it.
