This is because I am self-motivated and passionate about everything that I am involved with. It is through commitment that anything can be achieved, and I believe in self-efficiency (Baker, & Wiseman, 2009). For instance, when I stayed at Continue reading...

Every summer, my family would make same week-long trip to our old, friendly beach. The same town. The familiar busted up, splintered boardwalk. Elusively fun, never quite memorable.

I was only twelve and Miami was only TV and movie stuff. Of course, as always, when fantasy meets reality, it was initially disappointing. Then came disappointment. That was North Beach, nice, but not as appealing as South Beach. Shabby and dirty during day, Continue reading...

"The Negro Speaks of Rivers" by Langston Hughes

I’ve known rivers: I’ve known rivers/ancient as the world/and older than the flow/of human blood/in human veins./My soul has grown/deep like the rivers. I bathed in the Euphrates/when dawns were young. I built my hut/near the Congo/and it lulled me to sleep. I looked upon the Nile/and raised the pyramids/above it. I heard the singing/of the Mississippi/when Abe Lincoln/ went down to/New Orleans, and I’ve seen/its muddy bosom/turn all golden/in the sunset. I’ve known rivers:/Ancient, dusky rivers./My soul has grown deep/like the rivers.
The breaks in Hughes's poem are, in actuality, much less frequent. His Continue reading...
