Born To Be !

My Mother named my middle name after a famous American playwright. I remember on my 9th birthday she gave me a 4oo paged book called Huckleberry Finn , and I loved it so much I finished it in 24 hours. I was only 9 then and I knew I loved reading and writing as my younger brothers and I grew up watching British comedies,we use to sneak out of  bed at night to watch Benny Hill ? My Mother  loves British programming and the love of diverse music, that is why she gave me my British first name Cedric. We grew up listening to soul, rock, classical and even appreciate opera.When I was a kid I had the gift of solving mysteries in the first 5 minutes ( Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Sherlock Holmes ). In Junior High school for some reason, I always ended up in Drama classes, and I thought Drama was for sissies, I appreciated acting but I loved the writing. In my freshman year I was watching a play in our theater called Stalog 17 and the acting was so passionate, I knew right then and there who I was born to be, like Mother knew best a writer.
