My name is...

There are a few clarification and housekeeping items about myself and this blog.

My name is Maddie and I live in Michigan. I am a high school student at the time of this post, and overall, my high school experience has been a positive one. I compete in forensics, and I'm active in my high school theatre program.

Regarding the blog, I'm going to keep one thing constant. The name of the blog and the title of every post will be a song title. Music is a huge part of my life, and it always comes up in my writing, so I consider it important to note. In every post I will either explain the significance of the song, a link to it, or both. So enjoy :)

"Turn the Page" is a song by Matt Hires. He is not very well known, but he should be. He's a singer-songwriter from Florida. I've seen him in concert 3 times, and he is one of the nicest people I've ever met. He is very personable, and is more than willing to meet with fans and talk to them about his music. He even friended my friend and I on Facebook after the last time we saw him. His connection to his fans and the people that support him makes him unique. He is a regular person with a unique gift.
This particular song title jumped out at me because this blog is literally me turning over to a new phase in my life, one where I reflect on what I learn and see in the world, and how to make my writing better.
