My name is Ang - short for Angelina - I'm fourteen, turning fifteen October 2017, I skipped a grade, and writing is honestly one of my favorite activities. It's such a good way to communicate my thoughts and the images in my mind, and let out anything trapped in. Mostly, it's an outlet for creativity. I also pride myself in my art and acting abilities, but writing comes much easier than the former and I wouldn't even be able to do the latter if I'd never taught myself to write... It helps me go to distant places and place myself in other shoes.

When my Creative Writing teacher told me we'd be writing sonnets, I decided to tackle a theme often shown in Shakespeare's sonnets: aging. I took my own liberties, obviously - it's my piece, after all - by using the overlying theme of colors representing different points in a life.
