Brandon, I hope you see this. Saw you at LTAB, thought your poem deserved higher scores! Was incredibly touched by your piece. Do NOT ever give up your dreams or stop honoring your talent! I have 3 grown children (we're from OP too!), and it is my dream that they each follow their own personal dreams. ALL is achievable. ALL can be accomplished. I hope you have people in your life telling you that. I just want you to know that as you struggle to get the recognition you deserve, there are people out here who are seriously impressed with your talent! You will be great! :) Peace! ~Jessica
