My poetry collection was largely inspired by my fifth-grade teacher, especially one of my favorite poems, ‘The Jungle.’ This collection is the result of years of dedication and effort. I owe a special thanks to my mom, whose unwavering support helped me persevere whenever I felt like giving up. I initially began writing poems as a hobby, something to do when I was bored or needed cheering up. Over time, it became a way to process my thoughts. The challenge of finding the perfect rhyming word can be tricky, but it’s also part of the joy of writing poetry. Above all, I love engaging in meaningful conversations with others, which helps me connect and have fun. And do you know what’s truly important? Wearing that HUGE smile on your face!
