Miracles

I chose the poem Miracles by Walt Whitman because in the poem it is listing normal every day things that happen and that people do. It is saying that all of these things are miracles and some of these simple things are miracles because some day they might not happen or we won't be able to do any of these simple things anymore. Even the simplest and smallest things can be miracles.

Walt, Poetry and more poetry

Walt Whitman is a famous poet, essayist and journalist and obviously wrote poetry. He is a romanticist because he emphasized on nature and went more in depth with his writings. My favorite poem was "Poets to Come" because of what it is saying. What i got out of it is that people can do anything they want to if they put their minds to it and if people do that then there is going to be a lot of great and successful people in this world.

Poets to Come

Poets to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!

Not to-day is to justify me and answer what I am for,

But you, a new brood, native, athletic, continental, greater than before known, 

Arouse! for you must justify me.

I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,

I but advance a moment only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.

I am a man who,sauntering along without fully stopping, turns a casual look upon you and then averts his face,

Leaving it to you to prove and define it, Expecting the main things from you. 

Working Children

I think it is a good idea for some teenagers to have a job while they are still students. Having a job will teach the teenager a lot of qualities that they will need later in life. They will learn to be responsible for their duties they have to complete for the job. It also teaches them that you have to work for things that you want in life, instead of asking their parents for money all of the time they can get a job and work for it and have money for themselves.

Sophomore Year

So far this year has been going great for me, i have my friends in almost all of my classes and i made some new one. I came in ready to challenge myself for the big leap from last year to this year. My goals are to become more independent and get done with all of my work on time and pass everything with outstanding achievements.
