Jarred Stanton

Jarred Stanton (1996-Present) born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. Originally like any other kid I wanted to be a basketball star, but heart problems changed my plans dramatically. I have always been beyond my years mentally and that alone has isolated me from my peers. Poetry found its way into my life when I needed a way to release my feelings and escape my own mind. Fear made me a better writer, more emotionally expressive and an extremely curious person. My motivation is to help any person that I can with my words and lead by example with any chance I get. Writing is such a huge part of my life and changing the world drives my success. I am in the process of building my own Youth Outreach Program called, the "Promising DayDreamers Association" which can be found on Facebook!! I am also a Youth Football/.Basketball coach having a passion for seeing kids grow and learn to be great people!! Influencing people of all ages seeing them exercise their potential is so rewarding and heartwarming. I've been to speak motivationally at several schools and is always looking to go further and do more
