Calculating Harmony: Generational Divide at the IRS

My goal is to bring a positive view of life experiences in my writing. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., I grew up surrounded by the nation's capital's vibrant culture and diverse communities. My teenage years were spent in Maryland, where I sincerely appreciated the unique blend of urban and suburban life.

From a young age, I was known for my shy and quiet demeanor, often finding solace in my thoughts and observations. This reflective nature led me to develop a keen interest in people, particularly in the wisdom and experiences of older adults. I spent countless hours in the company of elders, listening to their stories and learning from their perspectives.

This early exposure to intergenerational interactions instilled in me a profound respect for the lessons that can be understood by those who have lived through different times.

My journey took a significant turn when I joined the Army and served in Desert Storm. The experiences I gained during my military service were transformative, teaching me about resilience, teamwork, and the complexities of human nature. The discipline and perspective I acquired in the Army have been invaluable in shaping my worldview and approach to writing.
