Determined I Am
November 1, 2008
To live life not trying, I refuse
I can't go on, wanting to live life in someone else's shoes
The potential I possess, is sky high
Knowing I'm not giving my all, makes me cry
A reality check has walked its way into my mind
Making me realize, you only receive one time
If I fail, at least I know I tried
Not trying at all doesn't satisfy
Anything I pursue, my all will be given
The voice of success, has stricken
My time is taking place now

Jasmine you are obviously a very talented young lady..you are of good stock obviously..a very intelligent mother and father..you "will" be a "star" it has been foretold by a very gifted psychic who was correct in many other predictions she made to me in Miami. Continue to use your brain and intuition to the utmost. I love you very much!

this is a very inspirational poem that was written by a sophmore in high school....me myself would have never thought of doing something like this even if i am a junior in high school...stuff like this comes from actually taking a step back and actually thinking about life
