On September 11, 2012, I performed my poem, “This is
Temporary” in front of the students at Arts Impact Middle School. The school’s
music teacher had planned the event to remember the tragedy of
September 11th and to honor current and previous members of the
military. With much enthusiam, the students openly applauded the
speakers, performers, and all those taking part in the event. It was amazing! I felt positive energy
flowing through the audience as I looked at the young potential singers,
dancers, poets, public speakers, and even lawyers. I looked in the audience and
saw myself in them because I once sat where they sat, thought what they
thought, and did what they did. They
were a reflection of my past; a reflection of what use to be.
Thank you Arts Impact Middle School (A.I.M.S) for making my
day and being so ready to receive me!
You made my day.
