Faith - Faith
I am a writer by nature; I have been writing since the time that I could first pick up a pencil, and scratch out a scrap paper a few intelligible words.
I am currently in the process of writing a book, which will be finished anytime between now and next year.
As well, I have taken classes in Latin, Greek, and French, but I am not learned enough in those languages to be called fluent in them. I hope to learn Mandarin, perhaps next year.
