16 year old Sophomore Kylie Smith is a proud cat mom of an adorable short haired tabby named Foster. When she’s not at school, she can usually be found sleeping, hanging out with friends, or working on her truck. She enjoys watching football games and scary movies with her mom anytime she gets the chance. She also likes shopping and getting her hair done. Kylie currently has three poems published in three different poetry compilations. The titles of these compilations are Imagine, Upon Arrival, and Treasured. “Poetry is my outlet,” she says, “It’s what I turn to when I’m stressed or upset.” Kylie has a goal to have at least one more of her original works published by the end of the 2017-2018 school year. She also hopes to become a well known poet after she graduates high school in the year 2020. “There’s so much opportunity in writing that not very many people realize. When I write it’s like I’m shaping a whole new world. It’s absolutely insane to think about what you can do with just a pen, paper and the ideas in your head.”
