I am a full time high school student in Virginia with a passion and drive for writing and speaking. It started in elementary school, reading grade level books beyond many others and would also making notes to teachers about how the book could've been written to make it more intriguing to kids like myself. In Middle school I started researching topics and world situations. I would watch the news for hours and to be fairly honest, I learned more through independent research than what I was being taught through the school system. In 7th grade, I started writing poetry. One day a teacher recommended that I went to a spoken-word poetry contest which I won with a cash prize. My teachers got a recording of my performance and ask to hang my poetry in the school building. It has been hanging for 4 years now and every incoming year I get new compliments on it. Now I am in high school, doing my school work fully online trying to expand and share my passion with others through this platform. ty.
