David Cruz Morales is 22 years old. He was born in El Salvador and came to the U.S. around eight years ago. School was something that he knew he wanted to pursue, but it was difficult because of the language barrier, which he happily overcame. He has also achieved the desire he had for school, he is graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Legal Studies, as well as being certified as a Paralegal. One of his biggest passions is creative writing, mainly poetry, and he's excited to explore more of that field post graduation.

Light poles, cement and concrete
Blemishes on our mother’s fair skin.
Small little steps, she takes to avenge.
Her revenge is assured, but perhaps maybe not.
The great Giddens, known to almost all
Is fighting a war.
Close to his mouth.
Mother Nature is climbing his walls.
Overtaking his body.
Her fingers are nestled, extending like vines
On the very same orange brinks, that
Make up his glory, his shrine.
His demeanor is tall and never obscure
The intellectual giants, it houses inside
Their footsteps are heard,
They rumble through history
They echo and die but there are always,
More.
Mother Nature holds back.
She knows Hamline’s mission
She forgives but does not forget.
Hamline is a journey,
