John Berrens, a retired OHLSD school counselor and published author, visited Mrs. Heather Berkemeier's Creative Writing II class at Oak High High School near the end of the school year to discuss his book, "My Name Is...".

The book details the stories of seven teenages from single-parent, divorced, and broken homes. He graciously shared his knowledge about writing and the publishing process with the students, many of whom wish to be published poets and authors in the future. There are also plans to turn his book into a play.
