“Go where you must go, and hope.” — Gandalf, (Lord of The Rings.) The fantastic work of J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings has been with me ever since the 5th grade all thanks to Mr. Carlisle. Reading has always been one of my passions ever since I was a child and it has brought me great solace. It was a wonderful world that I immerse myself and free myself from the stress and worries that the world is plagued with. Books have always been my most constant of companions in both the good and the bad. They have been with me every step of the way. And I am lucky to have had them with me. They inspire me to have courage and never give up. They have even inspired me to write. I perchance am not great right now, but I desire to write something of worth to inspire the upcoming generation just as J.R.R. Tolkien did for me. I don't need hundreds of readers, but just one whose my words will be of worth to. I would like to be a writer someday, but in the meantime, I will do what I can with my own hands as a public servant. I might be able to change the world, but I can build my community up to create a better tomorrow. It is said that hope is always the last to die and it is that same hope and dream that will light my path.
