Jun 2006 - Present
- Published a children's poetry book called, Being Just Me, Myself, and I - Introduction Excerpt: “...Children are fascinating beings that are the seeds to our future. They have such innocence and strength that many, such as I, admire. They are able to exude a deep passion for anything they can get their tiny little hands on. Their curiosity towards life and perseverance to succeed after failure should be, in my eyes, well-regarded. They teach us such magnificent lessons about life even with the slightest fall, slightest smile, or slightest question. I have grown to appreciate these kids, and so here it is to the beautiful children of this world.” Show less
