About Me
Apart from volunteering and playing basketball, writing is one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy exercising my creative writing muscles by writing poetry and music. I've loved poetry and rap music since I was in elementary school and even remember freestyling in between classes with my peers.
When I was in fourth grade, my school invited author/poet Bruce Lansky to speak at an assembly for the elementary students. Throughout the assembly, he encouraged students to speak up and share impromptu one-liners and poetry ideas. I sat on the edge of my seat and contributed as many rhymes and witty one-liners as I could. After the assembly, Lansky pulled me aside to congratulate me on my contributions and to encourage me to continue enjoying poetry. Even though I was only ten years old, I always think back to that moment when I'm writing a new poem or rap as a reminder to continue and improve my creative writing.
