Wanda Moore Luttrell Memorial Scholarship

Pivotal moments in our lives and our histories are transcribed and often retold through letters, or some form of written structure that allows our reality and experiences to be shared with others. When the world of the future has come, written documents with regaling and sometimes incorrigible tells of our past will be all that is left to share. When we first learn to read, along the way we must also gain the ability to write. Though the path of writing has a journey all on its own, its impact and numerous forms bring people of life together. My direction in the world of writing changed as I counted to age. My life and interests continued to convert. Despite all that, the curiosity and delight of the idea of writing had been kept at the forefront of my mind since I was a child. The stories written, both untold and told have only driven me to a deeper connection with the writing community. Words are a powerful creation. They tear down or build up an individual. They can bring forth pain or joy. Our creativity is everlasting, being able to immerse ourselves into a world we create and can be proud of is how we know that we are on the right track. Words can motivate and inspire us. My passionate resolve toward writing was the one thing I never questioned. Now the age of finding a career in the writing world will soon come to pass. I’ve had numerous routes and gone through just as many changes about what I want to do. The intrigue in writing was coupled with my love of reading, but also inventing my own stories. The journey of being sucked into a world of fiction, getting an exhilarating feeling of when you get so lost in it that you forget that it's not real and that you have been reading for hours on end. Every step and every difficulty has led me to a true passion that I truly can envision myself with. The art of publishing and editing. Along the way, with my dedication to creating tales of my own, I embraced my desire to not only explore my writing but help others with the aspiration in life to publish theirs too. The limitless excursions and boundless way that writing has of bringing out the out-of-the-box thinking, is what makes it so appealing. The idea of envisioning something and bringing it to life is what allows the world of writing to continue to prosper. Whether that be by letter, poetry, or even stories. Everyone can relate to the words on the pages, even if they didn’t write it.
