Workshop Wednesday: Manifesto

I know that it’s august and not January but every school year feels like a whole new year in itself. That being said I wanted to write a manifesto highlighting what it is I hope to accomplish this year. Mine is a poem format but you could take this idea and turn it into a simple list of goals and such.

My Manifesto: to truly enjoy the year as it comes and not be overwhelmed or have it fly by due to stress and apathy.

The Manifesto

The bell rings muffled by the sounds of roll call and

Talk of summer

And trips and applications

This is the year

The year I thought would never come

And I shall jump into it feet first

And enjoy every moment

Taking everything in

The last

Year

This is the last

Year

Filled with deadlines

And foreign phrases

And AP bio disections

And nights upon nights spent on

Last minute projects

No matter what hardships

Stress

Drama (which there will be, it’s highschool)

I will look around the crowded halls

And cherish every moment I have

Until forever
