attend school, where he developed a love for literature and poetry. In 1855, Whitman published his
landmark collection of poetry, ,,Leaves of Grass".

beauty of ordinary life and the potential for all people to find joy in their everyday experiences.

inspire others to appreciate it in their own lives.

experiences to create something beautiful and lasting. This is a testament to the power of the human
spirit, and a reminder to young people to never give up on their dreams.
