I remember as a child, when speaking the English language seemed impossible, I wrote. From writing about my admiration for turtles or how seeing my parents argue made me upset, I have always found an ease in expressing myself through writing. My passion took me to songwriting workshops, working as a writing tutor at Woodbury University, and eventually to poetry, which became my therapy. When I read how other poets expressed themselves, happiness consumed my soul. I knew I was not the only one.
