Hey friends,
Some exciting news:
So I'm a fresh HS graduate and in the middle of my senior year I entered the Empowered poetry contest. It was a national poetry contest that got over 5000 entries. Well, they selected their top picks to comprise into a book that is being published and mine was one of them! I am officially going to be a published author! The book is called "Empowered- Voices From the USA" and the poem I wrote is titled "White Walls and Rules." My poem is inspired by the voices of teenagers like myself who have experienced what public school is actually like in our society today.
I recently turned 18 and in the last few years a dream of mine has been to become an author. I love reading and writing and though this is a collection of works of many different people, this is a big step in achieving this dream. <3
