Welcome to my blog site, To College And Beyond.
My name is Isabel, and I am a college student at the University of Rhode Island. I am double majoring in Elementary Education and English, and intend on becoming not only an elementary school teacher, but a published author as well. I was born in Italy and moved to America when I was 14 months old, and have lived in the state of Rhode Island since.
Although writing isn't what I'm going to school for, I have tried to take any opportunity I can to learn and gain experience. Last summer I worked at the Ocean State Summer Writing Conference at my university. It was exhilerating! I learned so much from the few weeks I spent with those who worked in my university's English department. From September to December, I wrote for a start-up website that focused on television. In recent years, I have become increasingly interested in film and television, so combining that and writing was a dream come true.
This past summer, I studied in London for six weeks. One of the courses I took was creative writing. I learned so much from my amazing teacher. That course gave me confidence as a writer. I love creative writing, but I've always been a little insecure about sharing it with others.
This blog site will not only let me publish writing of mine, but it will let you get to know me, and hopefully support me as I move forward in life and in my writing career. However, my blog won't only feaure blog posts! If you love music, check out the music page for a diverse catalog of music I love! I'll be adding different pages in the near future!
Hope you enjoy! :) xoxo Isabel
