Octavio Paz is Mexico’s greatest living poet. But let’s face it: that’s like saying William Carlos Williams was Paterson’s best writer.

My Best Friend My Best Friend is Jane Doe. She has helped me figure out who I am. She has showed me the right path. She is always right next to me even if I did not take that path. My whole life would most likely be entirely different if I had not met her. She is the one person I know I can count on no matter the situation. Jane is more like the sister I never had growing up.

Of course no one knew what gave my life value‚ because it is my life and they don’t know what happens to me as soon as I step off campus or even when I leave the room. I went back to the articles written by Chris Jones‚ Amanda Ripley‚ and even the speech from Steve Jobs. I now know what gives my life

My Life as a Soundtrack Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if there was to be a soundtrack playing in the background of it all.

’Maybe he gave up‚ maybe he lost his courage‚ that doesn’t matter to me‚’ insisted the stranger. ’But he cannot be considered to be the best archer in the country if he has abandoned his art.
