Creative Writing Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

'Roxanne, you should have majored in creative writing.
It is what you spend all of your time doing anyway.'
When I was in college, I took several writing classes some
were: basic grammar and composition. Others involved speech,
and report writing. I even attempted briefly to major in
the field of journalism. I studied other classes too,
however, I promise not to completely bore you

In 1998, when I was Stevens Memorial Hospital, I wrote
Everett Community College. I asked them to change my
major from Human Services to creative writing. They
never answered my letter.

My mother told me, the field of creative writing was a field,
that did not make any money. She also truthfully told me, I would never return to college. I could not cope with it, and neither could she.

Fast forward into 2001, I wanted to return to college. Fortunately, the financial aid office turned me down. 'Roxanne, if you want to take any more basic math classes, I would have to pay for them myself.

I did manage to see a transcript evaluator, who tried to help me.
Apparently, I did qualify for an AGS degree. (Associate of General Studies Degree.) I even attended their graduation ceremony. I was making a statement by waving a small American flag.
