What an incredible young man you are, Ben!  Your creativity and layers of depth are inspiring.  It is amazing that in your teen years you have already achieved such success with your poetry and have been recognized at a national level.  Not to mention you are so handsome, genuine and kind, and a leader in your athletics as well.  With your well-rounded and solid background, combined with your unbelievably darling personality, the world is your oyster!  Loved meeting your sister and dog too.
