My own A.D. :)

It's probably cliche to say my dream is to become successful & live my life to the fullest, but honestly thats the simpliest way to explain what i want in life. It's always been a dream to go far in softball. I push myself to become the best i can be. With loads of practice, dedication and hard work, its only the start of achieving my American Dream. :]
On the other side of things, with the future plans of college, realizing there is more to the world than the controlled enviroment during high school, and (farther down the road) starting a family, its my dream to achieve the goals i've set for my future. :]

My Dreams: The Carousel of Progress

In my life i wish to achieve immortality. Once achieved, I think I will be happy with my life and I will be able to go to sleep at night and realize that no one can hurt me. It will take many months and years of hardships and overcoming goals to reach this state of living. Before all of this i am going to go 4 years at MSSU in Joplin and pursue a Biology major and see where that takes me too. Physical Therapy? or something like that. After all of this I will try to round up all 7 of the dragon balls and summon Shenron to grant me the wish of immortality. Vegeta will probably try to stop me but I will stun him with my tazer rifle. After all of this i plan on starting a family and then hiring Bulma to look for the dragon balls for me again

Who Knows What They Want?

At this age in life, I find myself choosing my path: school, occupation, salaries, taxes BBBBLLLAAHHH! I know we are human and it's our nature to be logical beings but I don't understand the need for constant planning and organization. Can't success come from our own observation and experience? This belief following the beaten path is the best bet. Why as a species cant was just simply exist. My dream is for enlightment for mankind. It's time to slow down and enjoy day to day beauty. Be successful without letting the idea of success own you. My path should be successful just because I chose it. let's "live" a little.

America=Eqaulity

This poem symbolizes the black discrimination as a whole and the black communities want for equality, We as a new generation have never seen the elements of ineqaulity and I believe that that is a blessing in itself. From my perspective, my relationship with my bestfriend would be looked down upon. The poem shows the contradictions of slavery to the exact thing amercia stands for, and thats freedom and eqaulity.

Week 4 - YOUR Dreams

So we've spent lots of time writing and talking about the American Dream in the context of history and of literature. Now I want you to spend some time reflecting your own personal dreams. As we near the last quarter of your senior year, what are YOUR dreams? For the next few months? For life after high school?

Who knows? Someday we might be reading your short stories or talking about your historical speeches!

Your task: Create your post about your own dream and comment on at least one other post by Monday, March 9. Have fun!

Mrs. W

I really liked the particular poem by Langston Hughes because i think it really showed what these people thought of America back then. Their idea of the American dream seemed so simple to ours today. They simply wanted to be free and have the same rights as everyone else while in todays society you have to have money and fame to be living the American dream. I really liked the part in the poem wher it says, "O, let America be America again".

American Poetry

I read two poems about Americans (provided by Mrs. Witt) that talked about singing freely. In Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing" he writes about several different American lives, how each one is similar because they sing together in freedom, and how they're different because each sings a song of their own. Langston Hugh's "I, Too, Sing America" sounds like a response to Whitman's poem. He too sings a song about freedom, and how one day blacks will be able to be free to sing and laugh in the same kitchen as white people.
