Describe a memorable day in your life.
Every time I write it is an intense emotional and spiritual experience. I do not know how others feel about writing their souls and emotions on a blank piece of paper but I love it. However sometimes I feel that I am not very good at it. I know that if I keep working hard and strive to achieve my goals I can do anything I set my mind to. A famous poet once said that, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference” (Robert Frost, 1949). I know that if I continue on the path I have chosen regardless of the trials and tribulations along the way I will become the person I want to be. I will be more than I ever dreamed.
One of my most memorable experiences involves the love I have of writing. The words flowed onto my paper as I sat at my desk one afternoon. I did not think that it would amount to much but my poem was a piece of my soul on that scrap of paper. I placed it in the envelope and sent it off to Open Heart Poetry. Weeks passed. Soon I forgot about my poem. That small slice of my soul I had written down for the world to judge. I went on about my daily life and the trudge of unhappiness I had found myself in. Then one morning as I went to my mailbox to retrieve my daily allotment of junk mail and news, there was an envelope shoved between the folds of the newspaper and I almost missed it. It was this envelope that sent me on a lifelong journey of realizing my dreams. Inside that envelope was a check for ten dollars. Trivial to most, but this money made my heart soar. They had liked my poem so much that they sent me ten dollars. I could not have been happier than in that moment. I ran inside to place the letter in a place I would see it each day and it became a reason to continue a spark of inspiration. Sometimes I think my muse watches me and when I falter draws my attention to the awards I have won, starting with that letter.
