My name is James Compton, I grew up in a small farm town of Fruita, Colorado. Here I played many sports growing up and developed my passion to be the best at what I was doing, after the world of sports closed I found a new passion. Writing. I found that I could get my voice heard through my writing. This new voice helped me, to alleviate my own stress, and most importantly take away my own bias. Through the help of my family and all those close to me I was able to fulfill this dream of mine. I am 20 years old, and studying counseling psychology at Colorado Mesa University.
