Writing can be a very difficult job, and producing compelling works takes time and effort. These are two qualities which remain more important than anything else, and are always heavily present in my works. I am a 16 year old who intends to follow the path of a writer and film director, and I try to achieve proficiency in writing through repetition and practice. This is an opportunity for me to experience the professional world of writing, and I will jump on any opportunity that is given to me. Words, of course, are empty without proof. In my portfolio, you can see some examples of the type of writing that I have produced. I have also written screenplays, and recently was awarded an Honorary Mention in the White House 2014 student film festival for my short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SJvi39hGuk
