To attempt to answer this
question, Auchter studied
information on her biological
parents. One day she read
information on her birth par-
ents that was tucked away with
her birth records and early
medical information. She
found a sheet with foe full
name? of her biological par-
ents, their dates and places of
birth and a few personal char-
acteristics that caught her
attention. Her mother was an
honor student and journalist.
Her father was a poet who had
an interest in music. This was
foe inspiration for foe second
half of the Writer’s Digest
essay. The facts made her won-
der how big a role genetics
played in her life and how
much environment did.
“I found myself on these
pieces of paper,” she said.
Auchter credits herself as
having developed from both.
She began writing poetry in the
first and second grade and
continued to write as a student
journalist on foe newspaper
staffs at Baytown Junior and
Lee High School. By foe time
she left high school, Auchter
had won contests for her non-
fiction essay writing, editorial
writing and had essays that
were published in newspapers
and read on television.
