Introduction

Hey. My pen name is Harold Miner. He used to be my favorite basketball player when I was younger. He had loads of potential but never amounted to anything in the NBA. Many consider him a failure.

A waste of potential.





I wonder if I'm any different.

I love to write. To create. I've gone from being an unmotivated student who doesn't care about anything, to a hardworking academic always looking to get better as a writer and a reader. I crave inspiration. Creativity.

I love sports, but I love poetry too. (What...you can't like both!) I finished a screenplay two summers ago and my dream is to be working on my Oscar acceptance speech for Best Original Screenplay.

 I don't think I'm working hard enough.

    Do you feel like you not working hard enough for the acceptance of a dream? That is controlled by another who's Significants is "higher" than yourself? Or, do you feel like you not working hard enough to become better than your self?
