He had an outstanding grade point average of 3.8 and graduated early from Hunter High School in the year of 2017. After high school, he proceeded to continue with his education by going to college. He started taking writing more seriously other than just essays after he graduated. He wanted to create something that was unique but relatable at the same time. Writing classes were taken while attending college. He started to write a book called The Kid on That Corner which inspired him to become a writer.
The book is a reflection of things he has seen, felt, and experienced while growing up. He wanted to let the audience feel something they have never felt before. He thought about ideas that could really make the viewer rethink how a childhood is supposed to be portrayed but is turned into something ugly. The goal behind the whole book was to put oneself inside a kid’s perspective of losing everything and still moving on with his life.
The book cover is purple because it’s a representation of the two colors red and blue. Red and blue are two colors which are the two sides that a situation has no matter what the topic may be. No topic is always one-sided due to the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The evils of money, family, and friends should be shown later on in life, but the character is exposed to it earlier than anybody else. A kid should focus on enjoying the moment, but he’s knocked down and is too afraid to even take a step outside.
Being immobile is a scary feeling that the audience will experience while reading. What did I just witness? If I rub my eyes, will this go away and I can wake up from this dream? He has been working on this book for two whole years and quit his daily job just to put time into the project. His goal is to influence and be an inspiration to people that seek guidance. The feeling of being on your knees is heartbreaking; like the whole world has fallen right in front of you. Seeing yourself in the mirror, but you don’t see a reflection because you haven’t felt like yourself lately. When all seems good, but it shatters into crumbs the next day is one of the most important lessons to learn while growing up. Feelings are temporary, and he wants to showcase this thought process.view less
