Favorite Quote:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me -Philippians 4:13


The world is hot.

Yes, we’ve been caught

Overconsuming what we’ve got.

Now we must fix a lot.


All along we knew

The trouble we’re getting into,

But now we say, “Who?

Did this come from you?”


But no, it was me, 

And it was them and it was he.


The author's comments:

I am a high school student-athlete and I am very passionate about climate change. I was inspired to create this piece because climate change is a big problem and a large threat to this generation. I enjoyed coming up with the rhythm and rhymes of this poem and writing it challenged me to become better. This piece incorporated my love for writing and environmentalism.
