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.

Reflections on Life
Self‑Discovery and Identity — “What Was and What Will Be
The Future You Create
The future waits in quiet clay,
Shaped by the hands that work today.No distant star can chart your way,
Like choices made along the day.Each step becomes tomorrow’s view,
By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)
The future lives in what you do.
