Future/Arts Institutes Reflection

in the future, as a career, I would like to create realistic exhibits for museums, such as the Smithsonian. I would love to be able to travel around the world, and  come face to face with exotic wildlife, and nature, I would have otherwise, not seen. I don't really care how much money I make in the future, I just want to be happy, as long as I don't have a wife, or family, I don't really care weather I'm poor or not, I just want to do whatever makes me happy.

Grey
It was  a quiet white morning
The mountain was ash gray
I had a pocket full of white sand
And a cut crystal in my hand
the sun was like silver celesta
The Japanese windflowers were blowing
as I grabbed the jewelers lavender gem


Green
We had a field day
with ripe, native green bananas
and bitter sour apples
with prickly green pears around us
the colour of a delightful spring green
we heard a musical spring promenade
as we listened from the mountain edelweiss


Dazzling Daffodil

yellow flower in the sun
growing very tall

Shell (Colour Story)

Shell (colour Story)

                

 The shell was a pearlescent blue. The same Shell I found almost a year ago, while walking along the tick, wooded river. Trying to cross its deep waters, I had fallen head first, and was swept down the rushing river. As I was washed down the river for what felt like hours, I hit almost every log, rock, and any type of debris that seemed to be in the lake. I was eventually thrown into the mud, but had no strength to get up. I laid there for hours in pain, and finally fell asleep. When I awoke, there was a shining blue and gold object in the mud, laying as if it wanted to be found. As I slowly, and painfully got up, I walked over to it and picked it up.

                  Here it is now in the golden country of Burma. The shell had made me realize that I had almost died before I had even gotten to do anything with my life. With the cold shell in my backpack, I have been traveling the world, and doing things I’d never thought I would have done a year ago. I feel like ever since I almost died, I have been alive. Visiting, India, Russia, Canada, China, Australia, Iceland, Burma, and so many more, I want to feel every experience I possibly can before I die.

This beautiful shell brought colour into my grey life, and opened my eyes to so much more in the world. Before it, I had never really known what I wanted to do with my life, but as soon as I found it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. It is probably the best thing that has happened to me in my life, and I would never give it up for anything. As long as this shell still exists, I will keep traveling.

 

I Am...

I Am…

I am young, not yet an adult, but no longer a child. I am 17 years old.

I am an artist, always creating, always thinking.

A student in high school, constantly working, trying to find a career to pursue his likeness in art.

I am an octopus, always exploring, innovating, and discovering in way that others do not, doing multiple things at one time.

I am running water, going where I need to be going, whatever way, as long as I’m dedicated.

I am a brother, two two younger children. Fighting, and playing, with no reason, but forced to live together.

I am

A young baobab, growing slowly, only to become a great, tall tree full of age and wisdom, in a dry environment.

A pen, drawing with no direction what so ever, but coming together to make as beautiful picture.

I am like a heron, and do not enjoy being in groups of people for long.

I am modern, owning many new devices, and staying updated with technology.

I am like an otter, and always like to have fun.

 I am from the nation of Zulu, and support others in the Race.

I am a huge family, spread across the country, pursuing new dreams.

I am confusing, as most people do not understand how I think.

I am loving, and can never stand to put somebody down.

I am the sum of all of my choices through my life, and that’s what I’ll continue to be.
