Growing up as a child I felt like I wasn't good at anything. I discovered that my power was standing up for myself and being able to communicate with others. I was being bullied all the time, my grades wasn't all that good and I have a bad skin disorder I was born with which was one of the biggest reasons I got bullied. I felt weak and miserable but I tried to keep my head up regardless. I always felt so hurt inside emotionally and because of my skin disorder called eczema I was also hurt physically. I was always forced to fight back for the fact that they were chasing me trying to beat me up. So after I beat up one of them the rest of them left me alone. I wasn't a violent person at all I just felt that if I had stood up for myself then they would finally leave me alone. Since that day, No one had bothered me or treated me different. I knew I had the power to speak for myself and not let anyone disrespect me. I also have the power to interact well with others. I am an outspoken person and very social. I love to communicate because it you can build connections and relationships with different people all over the world. I believe this is also a power because a lot of people are shy and scared to speak to new people.
A moment in my life where I felt like I was losing power was when I was having a conversation with two burglars that were trying to take my things. My power is standing up for myself and I was trying to talk to them but they were not listening to what I was trying to tell that, which was something that never happened to me before so I felt like they were belittling me and making me feel like what I had to say wasn't important at all. They just wanted the things I had which I knew wasn't fair because the things I had were expensive and I paid for it with the money that I work very hard for. I was frightened and I felt like there was nothing I could do so I had to take matters into my own hands and was able to fight them off enough to get away. I was lucky that I had taken boxing classes in the past so I knew how to defense myself.
Things that could help me exercise my power is my own experiences. I could use my thoughts of my own experiences from my past to help solve my problematic encounters of the present. It is very useful because what isn't the best way to take care of something than remembering your past encounters with a compatible topic but different timing experiences. Also, at work I use my power of communication to help solve situations. At Fenway park I have to interact with everyone since I help serve the food and I believe it is great practice because communication is the key and one needs to be able speak to anyone that comes your way.
When I was a limitless child
When I was a limitless child..
my knowledge was mild
but my imagination was wild
curiosity was my strength
the truth was my weakness
as i grew older
i saw the earth grow colder
torment rip trough the eyes
of all the young guys
hearing nothing but the lies
no matter what there's no giving up
i am no longer a young buck
which means no turning back
even if things get hectic
ill just approach it
and attack
head on
Genaro,
ReplyDeleteThis may be your best post yet. I see the improvement right away in the first paragraph. You clearly state what your powers are, and then you give great stories that exemplify that power. Nice job.
I also like the images that you put in your post. They reinforce your text and give the reader a greater sense of your tone and topics.
Be careful of minor grammatical errors in here. There are some typos that need correction. Be sure to carefully read over your post before you publish. Take the few minutes to do so, or have someone proof it for you.
Courage and communication are too awesome powers. They will help you go where ever you want to go. Communication is the key to business success. Having good people skills is great, and sometimes hard to come by in certain industries. It's a great skill to have.
Your poem is good, too, but it's too short. I suggest doubling the length. And I don't just say that because more = better. I honestly think that your flow is just getting started at the point at which you end this poem. Go for it. Keep it flowing. Double it, at least - and it will be great.
