I have written a creative thesis project, which is a section of a creative non-fiction memoir. The section includes a prologue and the first two chapters about the relationship with my grandmother. This memoir is an expansion of earlier forms that I have written in other course and is titled, Catching Up to the Dawn. Catching Up to the Dawn is about my earlier childhood to the present and the struggles I had with identity from growing up with an indigenous lifestyle to being exposed to the expanding Western culture. Along with the creative project, I have also written a critical introduction that goes more in depth with my process as a writer and my experiences of being a four-year undergrad college student.
