Choices are the wheel that turn our lives in different directions; however, not all of them are for the better. With life comes choices we need to make, and with choices comes chance; there’s always a chance that these choices we make can change out lives for the worse.

Personally I am an indecisive being; there is an upcoming choice I must make which will change the course of the next few years of my life. The end of my Fenn career is nearing and I am about to hear back from high schools; it is only a few days away in fact. The moment is coming and I have three options: Belmont Hill, Rivers, and Fenn 9th. It is not certain that those three options will stay.

I have made the choices to apply to Rivers and Belmont hill. I liked the community at Rivers and made the decision to apply there. For me, Belmont hill is familiar, when I step on the campus it feels like I am right at home. I have never been a student there, but it feels like I am a part of the community already.  I have not made the choice yet, but the choices are fluttering in the back of my head like a swarm of thoughts.

This choice is not going to change my life forever; It will not make or break me; however, it will be the decision that will hopefully guide me in the right direction in life. 

There are so many choices that only I have the power to make, choices that can change my life in an instant. The choices I make form the person I am. I am thankful to have my family help me with these choices, but in life, as I get older, there will be times when I need to take control and make these choices for myself.

Metacognition:

This assignment was definitely a challenge, I spent an hour on it and it was hard for me to find the right words again. I have been having some trouble with pages recently, I thought my whole piece had deleted, but apparently I scrolled passed it a couple times. I wrote almost half of a tetreameter on accident and then figured out I didn’t even delete it. I have been making many mistakes recently. Anyways I have been having challenges with this assignment, but I also enjoy writing these poems.Iambic

School

School is not bad (a)

but it is tough(b)

If Fitz is mad(a)

That can get rough(b)

Class is so long(c)

It takes a while(d)

Do something wrong(c)

Fitz will not smile(d)

Metacognition:

This Iambic dimeter took a while to think of, especially the second stanza. The words didn’t rhyme very well with any other word on the same topic which made it hard. I finally found out some words that worked out and completed this. It was a challenge but was also fun.

New Gym

Fitz leads us down (a)

To the new gym (b)

Us children frown(a)

Our faces grim(b)

We get less sad(c)

And pick up balls(d)

Then Fitz got mad(c)

Screams shouts and calls(d)

Metacognition:

I was a little upset after figuring out that I had done the entire assignment wrong. I had messed up the syllables, but messing up is a part of life. I got right to my ipad and started writing. Eventually this image came into my head and I turned it into a poem. I am starting to like iambic dimeters though.
