My name is Rebekah (Bekah, or Beks) Roemhildt and I am a ninth grader. I’ve been writing as long as I can remember, though it became more important in my life when the pandemic hit. During that time, I dealt with difficult mental turmoil and since then have used it to write. I commonly use my personal issues as inspiration for new pieces, especially poetry.
