I laugh. “Well, quite a lot and not much at all!” She throws herself onto my unmade bed and releases a string of rapid follow-up questions: “When I’m talking to you, am I really just talking to a brain? Am I just a talking brain? Are we anything other than our brains?” I sigh, spinning in my desk chair, my mind whirling with moments from…

stance and anger on the subject. I proud to write a powerful poem which readers could feel. I gained a new insight to the world of poetry in this class which inspired me to investigate and write more poetry. I have written several new poems including Haiku poetry, (a Japanese verse, 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables).

I am currently a sophomore student at Savanna High School. During my freshman year, I was ranked number 1 in the class of 2018. But my success did not happen just overnight.
