Tamuning, GU. [I miss Santa Rita]
19 years old, but beyond my years
I put on concerts. I never show up to my classes because I'm too busy giving to the community or trying to sleep. I put on concerts. I spit poetry. I build websites. I play guitar. I collect artwork. I believe in respect and chivalry. I'm a hopeful romantic.
Don't call me "radical" or "revolutionary", I simply cannot subscribe to complacency and normalcy.

Why I do what I do.
I do whatever it is I can, to EDUCATE, EMPOWER, INSPIRE.
This is a letter from a student at Okkodo High School who attended my presentation at Okkodo’s Career Fair last school year.
This student is only about 2 or 3 years younger than me, and I’m happy that I may be only 19 (18 at the time of the presentation), that I could show these kids that you can do something with your life if you’re passionate.
