I won my first contest in the fifth grade. That boosted my confidence and helped me to realize people are interested in my thoughts and feelings.
I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi in a close family. I have one older sister and a first cousin who is a year younger than me, that I view as a sibling. Growing up I was closer to him than my sister because of the closeness of our ages.
My parents were hard working and did all they could to teach us high morals, principles, and a solid work ethic. My parents always pushed us to do our best despite ridicule and peer pressure. I am eternally grateful for them pushing me to excellence in all aspects of life. I was taught that even if something seems impossible, if we work hard and rely on GOD it will become possible.
I have been writing my thoughts, emotions, and feelings for years. I thought about compiling some of my writings into a book, but I felt it was too massive of a feat. I began to share my poetry at group poetry readings. Every time I would read at an event someone would say you should write a book. I never knew what all was involved. Then one day a friend of mine helped me find a publisher and get things moving. Going back to the core values I was taught as a child; even though I viewed writing a book as an impossible accomplishment here I am. I present to you for your enlightenment and enjoyment, “My Mind Versus My Heart”.vizualizați mai puține
