My name is fausto parra, I am a student at Big Bend Community College, but more importantly, I am a role model for my two children, Jeremiah and Mack Parra. They have inspired me to better myself and obtain a transfer degree, which would ultimately lead to a degree in English literature. I believe that through reading and writing, we gain a better understanding of the world long before we must venture out into it on our own. With that simple idea in mind, I will wholeheartedly pursue my dream of reaching out to others through writing.
