What It Means To Be a Sophmore

To me, being a sophmore means that I have became a more mature student from freshman year. It means that I am one step closer to getting my highschool diploma. That means that I am one step closer to my main goal and that is going to a university on a Athletic scholarship to play football.

SPA Poem

I am surrounded by orange groves and agricultural fields filled with fresh fruits and vegstibles.The field of hope speaks to me as if it were my destiny but it is not my destiny it is my stage. The sound of staff knocking on my door beats in my head like a pair of Skullcandy headphones. the beeping of walkie talkies grow louder and louder every night like a giants footsteps coming closer and closer to me. This is my life at SPA.

I have been on restriction the whole week for some stupid decisions that I made, but I have learned from them and I am ready to move on.I have a meeting with the principle coming up any day now. I wonder how thats going to turn out. Then I have another meeting coming up with Beth and Tia. Things just seem to be getting better and better for me. On the bright side I am looking forward to this weekend even though I am not going on pass. I have 100 dollars to blow.

"Remember" Homework paragraph

Lines 19-22 are; difficult to understand. These statements are not logical because we as humans do make up a very large portion of the universe. We plant seeds, fruits, vegetables etc… we help the world grow as we do the same. Another reason I agree with lines 19-22 is because what humans do on earth can impact the universe drastically. My final example is The laws set by our constitution, because if there were no laws the world would be all crazy. I agree with the two statements being logical. At first I didn’t understand the poem but now it makes total sense.

Imagery in a Song

The song I chose to represent the imagery in my life is "Successful" by Drake. Every time I listen to this song I visualize my dream of going to the NFL. Ever since I was a toddler I always new I wanted to play Pro football. Another Image I get from this song is my salary when I graduate and get my Degree because successful to me is when I am making high sums of money off of my education. It is also apeeling to me that Drake expresses his desire for cars, clothes, and women which is what I see in my future as well when I listen to this song. When I hear this song I feel the sense of assurement that I will succeed.
