You may or not know this about me, but when I was younger I would always get in trouble with my teachers for talking when I wasn't supposed or just being myself and not knowing how to express it correctly. I nearly got suspended every week for doing this to the point where I was nearly put into military school. This happened every school year and I thought at that time I was doomed to just be a bad kid, who is too much for anyone to handle. Until, a teacher by the name of Mrs. Bowlin took that challenge on and knew that I was just a kid with no way to express myself. So, she placed me in a competition where I would have to come up with a story and draw characters that fascinated me. Long story short, I ended up loving this project and realizing that I was good at art and storytelling. So much to the point where I got second in the state,l. To some, this may seem like a loss, but to me, that "loss" was the very thing that started the creative journey I am on now. I owe this post to her and the faith that she had in me at such a young age. I had no idea this letter existed, but when my parents showed me this, it reminded me that I have always had people who have believed in me. I just wasn't believing in myself and what Mrs. Bowlin had saw. I don't think any amount of words can express my gratitude towards her and her ability to turn a bad kid into someone who is now inspiring others. I love all you guys and I am so thankful for what God has done in my life. This is just the beginning to something that will last forever ❤️!
(Thank you guys for everything!)
