In this last week of poems, I am responding to the recent election. During the week of the election, I was busy with schoolwork and didn’t really have time to actually let the knowledge of its repercussions sink in. It began when I was walking to class one day and I saw a white male […]

I worked on my high school newspaper for two years as an editor and a writer and later on as Editor-in-Chief for some time. In my […]
As the Halloween festivities draw to a close, it’s time to prepare for the next holiday in 2016. Thanksgiving, the holiday that is quite literally celebrated by eating as much as you possibly can, is approaching very quickly. For the students that are lucky enough to go home for the holidays and have a homecooked […]
