Authors Biography:
I wrote this book based on how middle school societies are currently now. I wrote about how
many students are discriminated, flooded with stereotypes, and have trouble finding their
identities. I, myself, know how these students feed. I am one of those students who were in
these incidents. I was discriminated for being smart, surrounded with many stereotypes, and
had trouble finding my identity. The main character of this book, Kevin, is a male version of
my early childhood.
After my readers read this story, I hope they know that they were not the only ones
in these problems. I hope they find their inner self, know how to stand up for themselves,
and never feel down. I wish they were like Kevin, who finds his identity through his name.
Best of lucks to my lovely readers!
-Sincerely,
Eliana Kim
Jennifer went up the stage since it was her turn to make her
speech. I watched her saying all the things she was grateful to the
school. 10 minutes after her speech, it was already time for me to
take action. I glanced towards Jennifer before going up.
Introducing Reynolds Middle Schools 2015 Honored Student!
the principal introduced me.
The curtains opened and revealed me in front of over 500
loud and chatty audiences. Shushing spread across the room like a
plague. I cleared my throat and began.
Hello. My name is Kevin Hartson. My last 3 years
experience at this school was not a good time. It was more like a
roller coaster. My parents recently divorced and Ive been bullied
for some time. I was discriminated for my smartness and how the
teachers favored me. One of my friends Jennifer helped me
overcome that problem. Before this speech, I was filled with
doubts. I felt like I didnt deserve this attention. Jennifer
somehow knew this would happen. Kevin means gentle and kind.
This is how I forgave my bully. When people discriminate you,
never get revenge, but be kind and gentle. My name is my identity.
My name is my shield. My name is my identity.
