Soar Evermore
My son, you grew so quickly,
Just yesterday so young, so small.
Today you told me something
Not easy a task at all.
As we sat in the kitchen,
You took hold of my hand.
"I have something to tell you," you said,
"I hope you'll understand."
Your silent pause lasted ages
But son, I already knew.
I'm so relieved you came out,
And now you can be you.
I am inspired by your bravery,
By living authentically and for rising above.
Standing up for equality for all living beings,
And believing, my son, "Love is love."

I graduated from Flower Mound High School June 2017. Fall 2017 was my first semester at University of Michigan College of Engineering where I was able to enroll as a sophomore (thank you, AP credits!) into U of Michigan's dual discipline degree program. I am majoring in physics and electrical engineering/data science and will graduate with degrees in each in less than four years. My goal post-bachelor's is to continue at U of Michigan graduate school where I will pursue a PhD in physics.
