This independent piece is a poem that contains repetition and rhyming. I don’t know where I got the idea for a mission; I just start writing and came up with this. It’s about, I guess myself, as I strive towards a goal and how it keeps me going. When I accomplish the dream, or task, though a new one has to begin. It begins with the past, works its way in the present, and ends in the future I believe the format of the poem and its structure are its best qualities. If someone doesn’t know, C.R.E.A.M.= Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
I had a mission
i would never reach the core,
or soar the impossible
but i knew there was more
anything could be through that door
But
I had my mind set
I have a mision
it’s make or break
no matter how long it may take,
and whatever the stake
i will fill that lake
Because
I have my mind set
I still have a mission
but not a day goes by
where i don’t reach out and try,
for my dream is the sky
and i will not quit unless i die
Because
I have my mind set
I don’t have a mission
i have completed the dream
and it’s just how it may seem
it was all about C.R.E.A.M.
until i followed that invigorating beam
But
I don’t have a mission
I have a new mission
i have begun a new drive
it will keep me alive
as i strive,
into the unknown with a hopeful dive
Because
I have my mind set

Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm
The dictionary defines such a word as a “controlling possession of the mind by any interest or pursuit”. Others describe the word as great excitement from a specific cause or event. Enthusiasm could never exist if pursuits and interests weren’t so important in today’s world. Everyone wants to get somewhere. This want creates the great enthusiasm that many people feel. However, could the emotion of enthusiasm bring about a negative affect? Enthusiasm could “control” the mind and if success is never achieved, other negative emotions may follow. Basically just containing high hopes in a certain situation, enthusiasm can be one of the most profound emotions if used to its highest potential. The more enthused someone can become, the greater possibility of success in life.
Large optimism brings enthusiasm to the table. Just six months ago, I was even optimistic about school, along with the upcoming fall soccer season. However, shortly after, I dreaded the idea of waking up every morning any longer, and the high enthusiasm about school had vanished. Just a few days ago, I was greatly looking forward to the lacrosse season. Playing lacrosse again, and a successful season were definitely “pursuits” of mine. Unfortunately my enthusiasm would be crushed as I realized lacrosse practice was the worst three and half hours imaginable.
I realize that present time enthusiasms basically build off of the wants I am trying to obtain. Even if that so called want is almost impossible to achieve, and nearly unimaginable, I could still be enthused. On the contrary though, the enthusiasm I feel right now is still much higher for goals I know can be obtained. Food is only a short time away. So I find myself greatly excited for a specific event, breakfast. A long weekend, also in the near future, is another “interest” of mine, which I can’t wait to occur. My high hopes, for these specific events of interest to unfold, create the enthusiasm I can thrive from.
Enthusiasm for the unknown is just like admiring and curiosity for what the future holds. Achievement of large goals, along with morals and important values build the future. As of now I’m looking forward to the completion of junior year and the summer. The blazing sun and hot summer days are tops on my list of things to come. I am even enthused about the rest of the NBA season and march madness, which is only two days away. My enthusiasms’ for the future are endless because of so many “interests and pursuits” that are obtainable. I believe all these enthusiasms if conquered will bring about success in my life, even if I’m just enthused about a basketball game.

E.E. Cummings, piece # 6
E.E. Cummings poem:
it is at moments after i have dreamed
of the rare entertainment of your eyes,
when (being fool to fancy) i have deemed
with your peculiar mouth my heart made wise;
at moments when the glassy darkness holds
the genuine apparition of your smile
(it was through tears always)and silence moulds
such strangeness as was mine a little while;
moments when my once more illustrious arms
are filled with fascination, when my breast
wears the intolerant brightness of your charms:
one pierced moment whiter than the rest
-turning from the tremendous lie of sleep
i watch the roses of the day grow deep.
--------------------------------------------------
My work:
The view full of colors and life,
The landscape in front of me so serene
As I hoped the night ahead of me was clear of strife
This view on this calm afternoon was unlike anything ever seen
I sat there, completely still from miles away
With no purpose or plan;
Just needed a unusual, peaceful day
A strong breeze felt like the perfect fan
But everything else seemed to stay still
the sun only lay partially alive,
working its final way over the hill
with its dramatic, yet daily dive
-this moment I only had one fear,
that everything would just forever disappear.

Vonnegut piece
High school: the most essential part of a teenager’s life. But what does high school bring? Obviously there are the good grades that usually lead to a good college, and eventually a good career. So does high school just help someone reach the economic standards they wish to live with later in life? The answer to this profound question is an absolute and definite no. Through my research and own experiences I have learned that just the impact of everyday high school life can be enormous. High school can bring an uprising or a downfall in any type of person, but why? What happens that people never hear about, that completely changes the lives of so many different people? The answer to the question, how does high school shape a person’s future, could be very simple. I could just say it brings experience in all aspects of life, especially social and most would be satisfied. But high school is much more than that. I mean what does the mind think when you hear the word, high school. I guess this is where I should begin.
