"Peekaboo" by Alexis, 17 | Under the Surface 2015
I took my first breath underwater and it was a whole new world. When you go underwater it's like a city with so many plants and fish that it's hard to fathom. They're all working together, just as humans do. Being underwater is beautiful.
About Alexis: "Hi my name is Alexis, I am 17 years old. I came to Northwest Passage due to legal and family issues. The IaNL programming has helped me express myself in a very positive way. I am able to write about my feelings through poetry which is amazing. I didn't think I could ever do that. It has sparked a wonderful new world for me."
