Hi, my name is Benjamin Bittner, I am a senior at Gateway, and I enjoy writing mainly poetry and short stories. I am open to any sort of writing and wish to pursue my dream as a writer providing relaxing, calming poems and stories to ease the minds of those who struggle. My outside hobbies are fishing and volunteering with the VFW. I also like watching sports, typically football.
