Kane's mother struggled to keep the inquisitive youth in Christian schools because they seemed better able to cultivate his writing, however the reluctant single mother eventually had to enroll him into the Virginia Public School System. The adjustment was hard, but journalism, advanced composition and writing classes continued to fuel Kane's love of words. He also found excellent teachers who were able to nurture his writing style.
