Elizabeth, a very young writer

I passed by a bakery this morning and I took a free newspaper that was on the counter for the customers, it is called "The immigrant Times". I always read these free newspapers because they have interesting subjects such as the one that I read today. It was about Elizabeth a 17 year old girl, who is a talented writer. I saw a TV report about her a few years ago when she was living in Colombia, she started to write poems when she was 9 years old, she won all competitions for that age and she was giving the title of the "youngest poet in America". She traveled to Europe and Unites States were she won many awards, she is also well known in Mexico and Canada. About four or five years ago she moved to Florida where she founded a radio station program about culture and poems for kids and adults, which it was a total success and now she lives in New Jersey. Elizabeth is a student of Kean University, her major is communications. She has plans to start a cultural program in a radio station in New York, she has created her own cultural company were her mother is the president and Elizabeth is the vice-president.
I am really proud of this gifted and talented kid, she is an example for the youth and we are lucky to have her at Kean. If someone is interesting in her story, here is her web-page: www.poet.oflight.com (FG)
