Keep on Growing
Kyle, 17
Isle Royale National Park
I must keep on growing,
Even when I feel I can't keep going,
Sometimes emotions make me wonder,
Why I keep myself from going back under,
Then I start to realize,
That my life is reality,
And I need to try even harder,
To grow up and be a good father.
About Kyle: "My name is Kyle, and I am 16 years old. My life has been a little complicated up till now. When I came to Northwest Passage and took up photography I discovered that it’s way more than just art. It’s a way to express how you’re feeling inside. I hope that photography keeps me going down the right track because that’s the way it’s taken me so far."
