How I did it is not appropriate for this story. Remember, I didn't care about myself. They write to repent past mistakes and listen to the grief of other girls who have walked in similarly tattered shoes before coming to Aviva. Nothing is right or wrong. It's about having other options.
Kids think they only have so many roads.
For many kids, writing as a release is one of the few things they do have. Someone like Claytor helps them expand their talent, skills and gives them confidence. This is the reality that the kids have to live in. If anyone of us came from the same place, we'd be exactly where they are. I wrote my first song at 10 or 11.
