I've been writing since I was a kid, for fun, and as teenager for ventilation. Reading aloud my poetry in high school several years ago gave me confidence that I may be able to pursue this and be good at it. I put it off up until this semester in college. My wife, my classmates, and my professor have given me a push of confidence. I want to bring forth issues that are either controversial or should be brought into the light. I hope I succeed.
