Life to Writing

Poetry is like melody, containing series of ideas that connect with each other. Even though the content may not have a proper structure, this flexibility allows the reader to feel the emotions and expression of the poet. Unlike other types of writing, poetry is a type of literature that allows the writer to express their ideas in individual statements, without having to worry about the organization. Together these ideas combine to create a rhythm that can bring amazement and awe to the reader. After having to write poetry for a week, I realized that the hardest component of poetry is self-expression. Most of the time I will write with very minimum self-expression because I am usually writing for  a Science course where I am expected to have a content backed up by theories and logic. Even though self-expression is difficult and new to my writing experience, I find it very interesting when I'm able to create a rhythm in my writing. It amazes me that beyond music, literature can have its own type of rhythm, its own type of "life" to it.

Meeting Eachother's Expectations.

 There many ways to meet an instructor's expectations while following your own interest. Through communicating with your teacher, you can provide them an understanding of your interests which they can incorporate into their assignments. Every teacher's expectations are different and it is very important that you communicate with each individual instructor about your personal expectations. Through proper communication, both parties are able to understand each other's needs and can try to meet them in assignments and tests. As a manager of my own education, I ensure assignments meet my needs by this similar communication method. Assignments are meant to benefit you and if they are not meeting your needs, you need to stand up and speak with the instructor. It's your education, it's your knowledge, and it will be your future that you are standing up for.

Dr.Seuss

Theodor Seuss Geisel known as Dr. Seuss is a beloved children's author. He was born in 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. In his lifetime, Theodor has written and illustrated 44 children books. In grade 11, I was given the opportunity to research about him for my English seminar. From my research, I discovered that he had incorporated implied messages in his books, where he would have subliminal messages about the political issues that took place in his lifetime.  Even though we only recognize him as a children's author, Dr. Seuss was once a newspaper writer who wrote a lot about political issues. Using the skills from his newspaper job, Dr. Seuss is able to creatively communicate to both young and adult readers

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Dr. Seuss

As a child, I used to struggle a lot with letting go of things. I remembered when I was 7 years old, I would always cry once I woke up in the morning. I cried in the morning because I would miss my mom who had to work early at seven o'clock. It was very problematic for me to let go of things when I was young, because it would always conclude with me in tears. Finally, when I was thirteen years old, I was privileged to attend a vacation trip with my mom to Vietnam. Coming back from the trip, I would cry every single night because I would miss all my relatives that I had previously lived with for a month. Recognizing that I cried a lot, my mom decided to phone my relatives and let me talk to them. In our phone conversation, my aunt ( closest relative to me) comforted me using the same quote but in Vietnamese. This quote taught me to be grateful of everything that God has given me and motivates me to live a life with smiles not tears.
