This image captures me at sixteen, a year into my time with the Junior Leaders. Even then, I found myself drawn to poetry—simple, pencil-scribbled verses shaped by the moments of each day. Those early reflections, raw and unrefined, became the foundation of the voice I continue to grow today.

Self‑Discovery and Identity — “What Was and What Will Be”

“I spent my youth chasing the future.
Now I sit with coffee and watch—
others run toward theirs.”

“The young chase tomorrow with urgency; the old watch it arrive —
with patience.”
