Bio:
My name is Bethany Camille James and I grew up in the
suburbs of Denver, Colorado in a family of six including me. However, I was
born in Clearwater, Florida. Life was bittersweet. The geography inspired
me, yet I felt as I was growing up different, and I seem to stand out like the
vast Rocky Mountains.
As I got older I would find my connection to the world
through reciting poetry, and extracurricular activities in school and the
community. It was demanding being active in my church choir, school debate
team, and working just to name a few things. To be involve demanded me to
interact with a lot of people, but I never fit in. I learned through my
experiences that you have to love yourself. Not loving yourself allows one’s unique
creativity to be stifled.
My siblings and I usually spent hours having deep
conversations and that helped me have a place of belonging. During my
adolescent years, I watched my family overcome many circumstances. However, we
had a lot of love and this allowed me to grow into a caring individual.
I was brought up in a way that stressed the importance of
faith, values, and love for others. I applied these values to my endeavors
by writing from my heart, striving to do things in a way that is honorable,
being creative about the ideas I put out to the world, and striving to overcome
negativity or obstacle that try to block me. My upbringing has completely
supported my development and I am thankful for it.
