The personal story behind Prasant Patel

My name is Prashant Patel I am a person that has an interesting life story. I am a 41-year-old male, who throughout his life has attempted to balance my physical limitations with my ambitions. Often when these two areas conflict, I become frustrated and confused about my purposes in life. It is at times like these when I look to the act of writing. My definition of writing is that it is an activity that involves an individual designing a framework so that audiences can appreciate how a writer’s perspective designs a philosophy towards life and the world. I developed this particular philosophy concerning writing as a result of both educational and personal experiences.

I was born to Indian immigrants both of whom emigrated to the United States in the 1970s. My father was able to build a successful dental practice in New York City and the suburbs of Long Island New York. My siblings and I revered my father because throughout his life he has exhibited and shown a determination to always improve himself both personally and professionally. In the case of my mother, she has been and will remain the most important anchor in my life. This is because my mother has served dual roles as an emotional and physical caregiver to me and my siblings. My mother’s importance to my life is in the lessons that she has taught me. For example, she has taught me to always be strong and determined as I go about completing a goal. It is because of my parents that my older brother and twin sister and I have been able to begin our successful careers as a physician, accountant, and writer.

My educational career is where I cultivated my skills as a writer, as an undergraduate at Stetson University in Deland Florida, I developed the necessary abilities to conduct long-term research projects. For example, as a graduating senior I conducted a long-term research project, which examined the issue of American arms control policy during the 1980s. As my education progressed, I developed a unique set of skills that specifically pertain to the field of public administration. As a graduate student at the University of Central Florida, I learned how to develop strategic plans, feasibility studies, and public budgets. Several years later I continued my education at the University of Central Florida and obtained a professional degree in a Master of Arts with a focus on writing and rhetoric. Altogether my educational experience has taught me the importance that writing is a detailed craft in which a piece of writing responds to the needs and expectations of particular audiences. And this is what I hope my writing will do for you.
