Me First.

My name is Marlon P. Weaver. I am originally from Waterbury, CT. I arrived in Maine in 1992 as an enrollee in the Penobscot Job Corps program.

Being in this state for the past 16 years has helped me to progress in my life. I began writing my thoughts down in 2003 while I was overseas in Kuwait and Iraq. Writing down my thoughts was a way to keep my mind off of the war. When I returned home I just continued to write as a positive outlet whenever I was frustrated or drunk.

I chose this course with the expectations that I will learn to express myself better through writing. I would love to be able to pen the experiences that I had overseas and ultimately write a book about them.
