From the Paper:

"My personal experiences have been diverse to say the least, and I like to think of my life as an unfinished paint canvas that continues to evolve with each stroke of the paintbrush. As each day passes, I am able to add a scene to the canvas that will eventually culminate into one vibrant and sundry painting. This metaphor may be compared to a story written by Dorothy Allison entitled "This Is Our World," since this narrative offers a similar explanation regarding the reality of art and its significance in daily living. From my own life, I possess the knowledge and experience that is necessary to create my own canvas, regardless of the simplicity of many events, and these experiences combine to tell my story in a unique way."
