I find myself often wondering,

If it’ll all turn out okay.

Living in a square state,

Not seeing my mom everyday.

I know that I will miss her,

And visit all the time,

But the journey to success without her,

Will be a lengthy climb.

All of the faith she has in me.

All of the never-ending trusting,

Has shaped me into who I am today,

Without her I would be nothing.

So thank you mom,

For all of your wisdom and guidance.

Because of you my voice of change,

Will never be silenced.

Dear Mrs. Paul,

It was very difficult for me to chose only 10 pieces, so I chose 11. Of all of the amazing work I've created with the help of your creative writing class this year, these were the funnest to write.

1. This was was one of my favorite Invitation to Write's. It really made me reflect on how far I've come through my high school years, and how far I still have to go.

2. This was my piece that is new to your eyes. I thought my mom would love a poem for Mother's Day. Writing it made me realize how ready I am for bigger things but how much I will miss my rock, my mom.

3. I chose to include this piece because it really sums up my three years of growing at Seabreeze. I enjoyed thinking about how much I've changed since my sophomore year here. 

4.This was one of the last assignments in your class this year. It made me realize how nervous I am to walk across the stage at the end of this month.

5. I wrote this as my college essay over summer but definitely tweaked it after a few weeks in creative writing. 

6. This poem was one of the deeper, more emotional poems in my portfolio. I read a story that is based off of this poem that inspired me to be grateful for everything I have. 

7. I read a story in my english class that I based this poem off of. It made me realize how those around you may seem fine on the outside, but are not on the inside. 

8. This is one of my favorite pieces ever. It was so much fun to write and one of the first satirical stories that I've written and I hope to write more in the future.

9. I rewrote this story 5 times before I was able to get all of my thoughts out how I wanted. I would like to add on to this story one day because I think it would be more interesting if it was longer.

10. This poem was fun to write because I always get asked "Where do I see myself in five years?" and I never know the answer. This helped me gather my future plans and think about who I want to become.

11. TEEN ANGST EVERYDAY. Though it may be am exaggerated version of how I feel about high school, it was still fun to write. And who doesn't love a good Pretty in Pink quote.
