Past”: It is Never Easy Letting Go Forgetting the past is never an easy task. The poem “The Past” by Ralph Waldo Emerson describes how freeing letting go of the past can be.

From the day I started kindergarten up until the present‚ it has always been drilled in me the importance of having an education.

A New Life Hopefully everyone can relate to a significant event in their life. Something that might have created a big deal of emotions‚ perhaps sad or happy.
