Finding Your Purpose:
I have obtained this degree of Master of Science in Mental Health and Wellness to open my options to find a better career and to become an even better poet and I have decided to attend Grand Canyon University located in Arizona because it is a Christian University. I have already found my purpose and it was at 15 years old writing poetry. The author started writing poetry at 15 years old. It was on the second floor of the auditorium of Haitian Bethany Baptist Church. It is located at 36-40 South Broad Street, Elizabeth, New Jersey 07202. It was a specific event organized by the Youth Group for Valentine’s Day called the Red Affair. I have already published three Poetry books. If one needs more information, refer back to the author’s first book with 35 poems called: “The Legacy of My Poems: The Psalms of A King” which is available on Amazon. You can also refer to the author’s second book which was an extension of the first book with 39 poems called: “My Psalms” which is available everywhere in Barnes & Noble bookstores; everywhere online which can be Kindle or Paperback; and depending on the website, then you can get a discount. This third poetry book entitled “A Beautiful Life Well Lived” contains great, long, and specific details with care instructions. It is available on Amazon. This book is also available on the international market. It will be an easy read from a list of 30 declarations of proclamation poems. My inspiration comes from when I can’t go to sleep at night; then after I write a poem, I usually go to sleep like a newborn baby. Many people have come to the conclusion that I get my inspiration from God through His son Jesus Christ because I write about Him a lot in many of my past poems and current poems.
