About Monki

My name is Melissa and I am seventeen-years-old. I am a junior in high school, but I'm looked at as a senior because I am only in senior classes. I am extremely ahead in my education and I will be finished with high school by the end of this year - I already have all of my required credits. :) I will be attending college full-time, starting in August. Right now I am only a part-time student, being that I am still in high school. I love to learn and I hope to do something with writing and psychology or teaching when I grow up. :) I hope to go to University of South Florida.

Writing, reading, music, sleeping, shopping, studying, learning, driving, eating

Occupation

High School/College Student


The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
