nDash Writer Profile for Alyssa San Agustin

My passion and talent for writing began with failure. In elementary school, I wasn't the best writer and there were always red marks all over my papers. Instead of helping me, my mom decided to let me feel disappointment for myself and it worked. I was so tired of seeing red marks all over my papers that I began to work harder in my writing. I went from red marks all over my page to praise from my teachers. I learned from my failure, worked hard and eventually became a good writer causing my passion for writing to grow. I have written for a college travel magazine called The College Tourist where I was able to get one of my articles on The Huffington Post. I have also written for The Lunch Table Talks which focused on Hip Hop Music and Culture.
