This is AMAZING.
Plus, you have a full time job, getting a bachelor's degree, with a fiancee and her small business, and and 8 animals to care for, along with trying to make time for family, friends, and sanity?
The above line looks like a joke.
Kudos on you for doing this.
Your passion reminds me of mine, as a high schooler into college person. Big difference; the responsibility you carry.
Please continue.
From my own experience, I can say, when you think you're writing for yourself, you're writing for many.
I may not post, regularly, but like many, I am here.

the research that you've done on this, along, is amazing enough.
