Poetry
Last school year at Baton Rouge High, I attended a Creative Writing academic elective for two semesters. The class involved daily workshops, even with other authors and poets. The class was barrier-breaking, not only for my external outlook on life, but my internal view of myself. It truly allowed me to appreciate many aspects of my life.
