Alexander Santiago
Alexander Santiago, 16, is a junior at Lower Merion High School, and has been writing poetry for several years. He found PYPM through one of the producers for “TEACH” (filmed at Northeast HS), who introduced Alex to Greg Corbin. He started writing poetry as a way to let out bottled up emotions. To him poetry is therapy. He does school tours with Peace And Love, has been featured on Drexel’s website for victims of bullying and at GetSchooled.org. He plans on becoming a motivational speaker encouraging kids to find their voice any way possible.
