I am a 21-year-old college Junior who decided to spend most of my parents’ and some of my own money on studying linguistics and the creative process (or how to write).

My name is Robert Pascale, and I am 24-years-old. I am a graduating senior at Western Connecticut State University, and upon graduation I will be joining the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) as a Catholic missionary.
