My name's Larissa Antonioni.
To me, writing isn't just a hobby. It's an outlet for my anger, my sadness, and my hopes and dreams. I don't just hope to write that best selling novel, I hope to make a difference with my words. Whether it be speaking in front of an audience, or on the pages that someone reads.
I am currently going to school for a Human Services Leadership degree. I want to work with people with varying disabilities and impairments. I will teach them the joy of art and how it can be used for a greater purpose. Mainly, the ability to be an outlet for pain and sorrows.
I will show them how to use art forms to make their life even better on a day to day basis. Photography, writing, drawing/painting... These things aren't just hobbies. They are a resource. A coping mechanism.
And I want to introduce that to the people who need it the most.
I will make that difference. And I look forward to it.
