Growing up, vocabulary was always one of my best subjects. I loved sounding out the words, discovering what they meant, and putting them together to form sentences. Those sentences soon turned into stories and before I knew it—I was a writer.

Vocabulary helps shape a person’s perception. Essentially, thought processes and perception are formulated into words.
