Growing up, I used to read and still read a lot, but the story that interested me the most was Romeo & Juliet. I always been into literature. I got third place for my poem when I was in third grade at Rincon Elementary School. Writing wasn’t just something I loved, it was therapy for me. Metaphors became something I loved using when writing out my life. The only difference was each story I wrote didn’t have a tragic ending but a happy ending or a positive ending with wisdom. I learned to write in many different languages for many competitions for several colleges. I got in second place for two competitions for Ebenezer Middle School and New Hampstead High School, while still recovering from surgery. Try to memorize a speech that is three pages in French or Spanish for a competition. While representing a country or college. Then give your speech in front of 300 to 1,000 people. I’m not scared of crowds. I represented the Republic Of Congo not Republican Of Congo and that’s where French came in, then I represented all the colleges on the east coast. This was a 4-h competition. That’s where Spanish came in. The 4-h competition is one of the largest on the east coast. The way I memorize the speech’s was recording it on a tape player and listening to it everyday then speaking it, so you didn’t have to look on the paper constantly. The tape player I record all my lessons on as well and that’s how I learned. I could move the recordings to my phone that’s what I would listen to everyday at school, not just music. That’s how I prepared for tests, papers or quizzes.
