After reading this article “What Set You From‚ Fool?” I must admit that I am confused. It was difficult to determine what the point of it was.

(ôth-au-r) - One who practices writing as a profession. 15 years is a long time and especially so for one who has not lived that long yet. Today teens like me are expected to know what they want do later in life. Maybe if it were not the twenty first century I could be imaginative but that would be childish (In case you didn’t know this is a CHILDRENS essay competition). However after a decade and a half I would like to be in a profession that is considered neither here nor there in terms of childishness
