My name is Raymond Mesa, and I was born on February 27th, 1989. I was born into an American Mexican family in Temple, Texas. Which is where I lived up until my last year of junior high school. During the last year of junior high we moved to Edna, Texas. We lived there for a few years. Then we moved to Victoria, Texas while I currently live. I continued writing my science fiction, and when I finally publish my poetry I'll use the nickname Sapphire PraiseWorth. The name Sapphire was inspired by my former best friend Gabriella's birth month. While PraiseWorth represents someone who loves deeply and believes that God is worthy of praise after everything that has happened. I plan on making a name for myself as a young writer.
