Zachary Porter
PLEASANT GROVE HIGH

“As I entered high school, I ran into a dilemma. Within ten years I would need a way to support myself, and I had no idea how I would do it. I have many interests ranging from astronomy to drama to writing. One day as I was reading a science fi ction book, I realized how to solve my problem. As an author I could incorporate all my interests into one career. My future career had been decided, and I began working hard to make my dream a future reality. I began reading a variety of different genres... I began experimenting with ideas and begun writing a novel.”
