Don't Miss Out on It
My creative writing talks about how opportunities can be life changing.
I have been told
When I write, I consider ways in which I can artfully and visually arrange vocabulary to create a sense, a mood--similar to a visual work of art.
The Man With Darts for Eyes
Fear. I thought that there was someone who I could trust and then they became someone I didn't know anymore.
Manipulators
I love reading fantasy and fiction books, so I took this opportunity to write a short scenario that I would include if I were to write a nonfiction book someday.
Tiger Moms and Father Gods
I created this poem in response to my bottled up emotions surrounding my own family's dynamics.
What is Love
A lot of times, love is portrayed in books as something that just happens without effort, something that just falls into your lap and works out.
Times Change
The inspiration for "Times Change" came from a fishbowl discussion in my English class about a book we were reading.
Ashes and Kindling
My portfolio consists of three short pieces that I wrote for my English final that really became closer to a passion project than school work.
Unsigned Unsealed Delivered (I'm Yours)
As an Asian American, I struggled to learn in the classroom about a diversity of Asian and Asian American experiences.
Trans Man's Hymn
I wrote this poem on my 15th birthday, my golden year, a month before I came out to my mother as trans.
