In high school, she had an essay and a poem published in teens' literary works. An English major and Chinese minor at The University of Iowa, Laura is very interested in poetry and the different forms it can take, and she hopes to be accepted one day into the Iowa Writers' Workshop. She is currently planning to teach high school English when she graduates from college. |
