Going through public school I never fit into the model of a perfect student. Despite all the effort I was putting in‚ I never seemed to be getting the results those around me were.

Most of my life I have been writing‚ whether it be in school where I was

Communication 110 5/1/13 “Without change there is no innovation‚ creativity‚ or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable William Pollard.” The quote by William Pollard was a quote that held truth to me about not making changes to better ourselves and if we continue on this path of non-improvement then we will find ourselves left out of many different opportunities.

As mentioned‚ the base metrical pattern of this poem is
