How to become a writer

A while back we read "How to become a Writer". It was about a girl named Francie who struggles with finding her calling in the world. I personally was a little confused when I first read the story because it was just so random. Looking back on the story it had many great points to it. I liked how it said, "Fail miserably. It is best if you fail at an early age." I like the quote because in life you have to fail to become better. I think that in life it is okay to explore other options besides what you are "majoring" in. I think the story has a lot of valuable points, it was just a little confusing. I could relate to the story because for the longest time I have been planning on being a high school math teacher. Recently I have been exploring new options and I am not completely sure that that is what I want to do with my life. I have been thinking about working with sick children in a children's hospital. There are so many different career fields in options in the world that it can be very overwhelming and frustrating sometimes. That is why I could relate to Francie in the aspect that she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life completely.
