lacking college

It seems to me that only people with a college degree are taken seriously about their writing. This seems to apply, no matter what the degree is in! As a result, I feel so inadequate. I love to write, and used to picture myself growing up to be a writer, just like one admired. She, of course, had a degree, and at one time even taught at the college level.

Not knowing anything about college, my parents were unable to offer me any advice. Through my stubborness, I made it into a small Christian college, with the idea of persuing Biology. My love of nature made me want to study it and do all I could to save it. It quickly became apparent that I was in over my head. I wish I had known to get more involved with the councelors that I'm sure were available to me. Maybe they would have steered in the right direction.

I don't know exactly why I like to write. It's not from a big ego, as if all the world needs to hear what I have to say. I don't think I have a need to sell a million books. I just like to tell stories and like to share them with those who will listen.
