Healing Hearts Through Words
The act of writing that first piece, a tender story of a broken-winged robin called Rusty, was a discovery that permanently changed the course of my life. In the innocence of my youth, I found a profound fact: that through the magic of words, I might bridge the gap between the restrictions of my reality and the limitless horizons of my creativity.

My Potential
Fourteen years. It has been fourteen years since I wrote my first true short story, “Model Wedding”. As cliché as it is, I have written stories and poems for as long as I can remember, and so there are poems and chapters of stories that exist before “Model Wedding”. However, this story is the first time that I can remember writing a complete piece of fiction, where my true passion in writing lies. It was written for the Stanford Gifted Youth Program—an ungraded summer program for high school students gifted in different academic areas—and, at the time, it was my proudest accomplishment. Even the instructor, a published short story writer, praised it, particularly the revision.
