Inspirational Song

Waving Flag - K'naan

I I chose this song as being one of the most inspirational songs throughout my life because at the moments that it was played at, what the song is about and how it was used. This song was released in 2010 for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. As many events have their own theme songs, this was the theme song for World Cup which whenever played, got many people even more excited for the World Cup, including me. This song then came to me as a pump up song that I would listen to before soccer games or whenever I needed to get excited for something. I remember, it was the day of one of my soccer finals to get us into Nationals and none of us were really into the warm up at that moment. Then, the song played. This song got me so pumped up for the game, as well as my teammates and we played one of our best games of the season that day. The next day, it was the awards ceremony and as we were all waiting, the song played again. Ever since then, I have always had to listen to this song before games to get me ready and focused to play. K'naan is expressing the freedom and equality that each country has when they come to the World Cup to play. Every country and fans come together as one and celebrates their love for the game. This uses a simile comparing freedom to a waving flag as a flag waving in the wind has nothing to hold it back from waving. I am a big believer in freedom and equality and this song not only pumps me up before games, but send a very valuable message to everyone.

Found Poem

Senior Year

Winterfest,

A senior event

Take a picture with Santa,

Free pancakes and waffles,

Or tight and bright

The most epic day for all.

Hate is overrated.

Post grad, 

Fun and adventurous 

Reveal your potential,

Be creative,

Value all contributions,

Celebrate respect, welcome love

Ideas start here.

Post Mortem Monologue

Ophelia

I have now fallen to death. I guess my time would have come soon enough, but the thing is, I don't regret it. I have had enough of everyone and everything and I wouldn't have tried to stop myself from drowning even if I could have. (However, it was not suicide, I really did fall and drown not on purpose). I was going a bit crazy, I do have to admit. After all the events that happened in the past week who knows what I would have done next. First, Hamlet, the so-called love of my life, tells me to "get to a nunnery" and then ends up murdering my father in the late afternoon. I don't know how thou could be so cruel. This led me to the craziest of days that I have experienced. I became crazy, and for that I regret. Aye! Now that I ponder what I have done from all the recent tragic events in my life, it was the best decision for me. I could not balance those distracting thoughts in my head of love and hate. I did not know whom I could trust anymore. The voice of a women does not have much say in what goes on in this cruel house. I must respect all others. All the men. But nay! I could not do that. However, I am happier in this place I am now. Must be heaven, for even though He may have thought I have taken my own life, but in the end God forgives me, as I would not dare to be here if I committed such a horrid sin. I am at peace, and all thou who are on earth must still be running crazy.
