So he continued writing all through his high school career of love, life lessons, personal thoughts, and personal feelings. He wrote about the scenarios that happened around him whether he was a part of them or not he wanted to give his outlook on the situation’s at hand. He collected poems over the years and decided, after being told over and over again that he should use his talent, that he would look into getting his work copy written and published.
