Introductions and Formalities

I am Ryan Reyes and I am from Cicero, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago.  I'm at the University of Illinois because I wanted to get away from home and experience life on my own. I'm in the English/education program because I love to write and think- both of which I want to share with other young adults. As to where I'm headed, I suppose that's wherever the wind takes me. I want to travel, teach, and write.
