Growing up, I watched my big sister perform poetry at schools, local venues, and in nationwide competitions. One day, feeling sort of down I grabbed a pen and proceeded to write. I was actually impressed with myself! I let my sister hear the poem I wrote and she said me “You have to perform this poem somewhere.”
I was later given the chance to perform in a showcase at Mosaic Templars in Little Rock, AR. I was 12 years old preparing to perform for my very first time in front of over 300 people. I was terrified! But I didn’t let fear stop me! My performance concluded with a standing ovation. That experience led me to believe I can do anything and be anything that I wished!
