CREEK

CREEK started as a group chat name between me and my closest friends in high school. It didn't mean anything at first. It was just ours.

Going into senior year, I was focused more on music and fashion than my academics. My guidance counselor told me I was the lowest in my class and wasn't on track to graduate. I took a walk, thought about my situation, and told myself: "You're CREEK. You can get out of this."

From that day on, I was more determined than I'd ever been. I did everything I could to walk across that stage, and I did.

That's when I knew CREEK was something I'd carry for the rest of my life. It's the tool that reminds you that where you are isn't where you're staying. Find the light at the end of the tunnel and sprint to it. My hope is that through this work, you'll carry it too.
