Self-Educational Goals

I have decided to apply to the graduate program at UCF this fall, mainly because I have been developing more interest in writing and I would like to strengthen my background of knowledge in this area. It is a difficult desire to explain, because creative writing as a whole really does not serve a "practical" purpose in the world at large and especially within my own personal life. However, I am fortunate enough to be able to be in a position that allows me to explore my creative avenues and I want to be able to make use of this in the most practical way, which I think means finding more formal and traditional methods, i.e. higher education, to help me meet my own personal goals that at this point are still quite nebulous.

I have explored my reasons only casually thus far in some of my personal journals, and I am still trying very hard to organize them and my thoughts so I can really make use of what skills I already have at hand to make the parts of my life come together in the most peaceable and natural manner as possible.
