I really enjoyed your poetry. This is interesting. It speaks words to me. I am a poet myself. You speak on the woman you truly want to be. Great Job!

Your creativity is amazing. I did not know you were so talented. Your poetry speaks truth. My favorite was unity. It speaks on how we shlould be together as community. You speak of the new generation having a better future. You were honest.

You speak truly on most of it. Hip hop isn't dead but it has lost its true meaning. I understand what you mean when you say it is very different when we turn on the radio. Things have changed and are still changing in the music. Hip hop used to be so meaningful, yet today it is not the same.

I understand your excitement. Convocation was so inspiring. Dr. Ben Carson was very encouraging. I thought his speech was amazing. His speech amde me want to work even harder in college to make it. He taught us to want to help other people even when we feel as if we ahve reached the top. I guess you and I both shared a great experience.

My Presentation ( A Poem)

Life will teach u a lesson everyday

Im learning mine by the hour

You get the lesson of love

Love how its supposed to be vs. what it really is

Lesson of fear

whether to be afraid or take a chance and risk it.

Lesson of trust

who to trust vs. should you trust at all.

Lesson of pain

How to endure it vs. should you have to endure it vs. when to endure it

Lesson of friendships

Whos really your friend vs. whos just an associate vs. what is a friend

Lesson of relationships

Family vs. lovers

Lesson of life

Reality vs. fairy tale

A lesson is taught to you everyday

It is your choice and your choice alone whether you take advantage of that lesson or whether you allow that lesson 2 pass u by

People everyday look into the world and allow those wonderful lessons to pass dem by

and then look back frowning thinking what could have been what should have been

Still think its too late

So once again they lose out on the lesson of time

It is better to learn your lessons now than to wait n have to wonder and think the lesson I learned today I could have learned a long time ago!!

True meaning of community service

Community Service is voluntary work intended to be for common good, usually done as part of an organized scheme. (Dictionary.com) For most people community service is a job, but the true meaning of community service many people fail to realize. Community service really means to give whole heartedly back to your community without expection anything back. We do community service to make our community better. A person who loves to do community service cares about the outcome of his community. He wants to see his community come up. Usually community service is assigned, yet it should be done because a group volunteered to make a change in thier neighborhood. They seen a better way the community could be so they made the change. Community service is more than just an assignment.

Students and their struggles in college

"A recent American College Health Association survey of UO students indicate 96% of those felt "overwhelmed by all they had to do" on at least on occasion. A further 63% indicate that they had "felt things were hopeless" at least once during the year. This suggest to me not that most students are walking around feeling hopeless, but rather that normal college life is fraught with stress and emotional lows are part of the river's course." ( College Struggles). As you can see many college students struggle throughout their college experence. Many students have the worries of finances and what going on back home. Yet, most students deal with the struggle of grades and the compacity of college work. There is so much more to college than doing the work and moving forward. You deal with the fact that you are trying to please everyone. Most students feel like they are obligated to be the best because of pressure instead of being the best because they want to do it for themselves. Some students get to a stress point where they feel as if they can't breathe. They do not feel as if they can make it through college. Finance problems are even worse because one thinks she cannot afford college, so the issue because how long will she really get to be at the college of her dreams. She then becomes hopeless with everything. College can be very stressful for students. Sometimes some people should just understand.
