My name is Fernando Orellana, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I am currently a Junior in ASB and a lineman in our school's football team. I'm also a big brother to two little sisters whom I love dearly. My love for writing and reading blossomed from family, specifically through the nightly readings of A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein with my tía Diana. This began my interest and writing that is now inspired by the happenings of my life, my emotions, books, poetry, music, places, people, and the world around me.
