Rhonda's thoughts about her vision: “As a young girl, the thought of stating a vision, dream or desire was something I assumed was meant for other people. I felt that way becasue in my own life, stating a dream, vision or desire only meant opening myself up for ridicule and judgment. And, if there is one thing I know, it is that, that kind of harsh judgement only creates a lot of bitterness and strife.
It has taken me a long time to come to the realization that I can speak my goals and visions without fear. That said, my hope; my dream; my long term goal in life is to someday start a creative writing school for people who suffer with a learning difference. I use the term difference because I do not consider us to be disabled; it is not as if we cannot accomplish or succeed, we simply use different tools to get there.
For me, writing was/is the tool that has saved and continues to add to my life. If I had not been introduced to poetry, journal writing, the memoir, and other wonderful experiential writing techniques, I might have assumed that I would never have been able to reach or achieve anything.
I do not know how long it will take me to see my vision reach fruition, I do, however, know that I will reach it!"
