These past few years have been a real eye-opener and a real gift. I am forever in debt for all the memories, and all of the support that you guys have given to me throughout the years. You guys have allowed my inner self come through and be seen as a light. So now, it’s time to be honest. As you guys know, I have been writing poetry for about 5 years now, and written and released more than 300 poems. But here comes a wall. I’m graduating very soon and that means that I won’t always have time. So, coming April 26th will be my final poetry collection. I had been working on this since November, and I’m very blessed that it will soon be available for you all. It has 17 poems, each more of a diary entry than the last. I named it “Riley” because we have come full circle. Again, I want to thank Dennis, all of the Winnetonka staff, I want to thank my Momma and my mom and everyone who was by my side. This has been an amazing few years and I’m really going to miss them. Again, I am humbly thankful!
