Some people say that there aren't enough hours in the day. For Kirsten Ellison though It's true. Two years ago her father got a job that forced them to move to Chicago. Since there were some classes her local college didn't offer, she started taking a few classes in Minnesota.
Even though she's been moving back and forth between two different parts of the country, she still has time to play guitar on her Worship Team for her church. She's been hard at work on the guitar for seven years, which she attributes to her guitar teacher who made learning fun.
But there's more. She's working on a fictional young-adult book, the first in a series she has planned. She says she's having trouble, but is hopeful for getting it done this summer.
Truly, she is a woman of the modern age. Able to juggle all of these activites at the same time and it just keeps going.
Somewhere between the guitar playing for Church, the cross-continental classes and the authoring of a novel, she still finds time to go to see her favorite baseball team, the Twins. "I rarely ever miss a game," she said to me as a part of the e-mail interview.
Her long term plans? Get that book published, net a Journalism degree, get marraied and have kids. She says it best, "I will totally be the kind of mom that drives a mini van!"
I liked your feature story. It was very interesting. I wished you would've focused more on one of her hobbies. Other than that, it was great! Good job!
