Hey Ma, Look I Made It

 ""Kanye told you college sucks so you should drop out, out but me, I'm just going to finish to make my parents proud, proud." ~ Sammy Adams I'm a headstrong guy. Hahaha! That's a pretty true statement. I have been in college since 2004 and my parents have always encouraged learning but at one time they wanted me to take on a trade skill instead of being an athletic trainer or go into marketing. I thought that getting an Associate's in Marketing Retail concentrated in Visual Merchandising was a smart move. I arrived at this degree choice because I have been working in retail off and on since I was 16 years old. I thought it was a good move and I wanted to prove to my parents that I wasn't wasting my time. I love school and I appreciate my professors. I have this mentor Pat West, she always had time for me to just come in and talk about my classes, work, and future goals. I struggled with school and I had great help from the disability service...

Ice

Ice All along the winding road All along the cold hard ground Lies the man who was under assault. Eyes white as the snow, feeling No fear inside, feeling no more emotions. Loveless is the ice against his face. Loveless is the ice against his lifeless Body covered yet in ice. His icy heart beats and beats for life. Cast off the bonds of ice I say, cast off The chains of ice. He plants the hybrid ice flowers, flowers To honor his death and icy rebirth. With every season that the flowers Grow so does the firmness of the heart This poem was not my favorite of poems to be submitted to a poetry contest. I think it means to me that anything can be revived, rebuilt. Life especially in nature goes through cycles. In the long run the human soul it can go through cycles just as nature. There are periods of time when we hurt and rejoice. We ,with growth and maturity, are always looking for change.
