Poetry Unit Ending

Poetry is a unique style of writing used to express feelings, like a song without music or actual singing. That's what I always viewed poetry as.
After writing three poems (with great difficulty), my feelings stay the same. My view of poetry hasn't changed. It's still unique and with many rules to make a poem good or bad that can be changed for the poem itself or its style.
It's still lovely to listen to, but hard to write. Overall, its still not my cup of tea.
I have nothing against poetry, I'd just rather read a novel than read or write another poem.

School Assignments Reflection

In all my time in school, roughly 15 years now, I've learnt that being the manager of my education can be hard or easy, especially when applied to an assignment. It all depends on two things: the way a teacher pushes his/her students, and the grit I (or any other student) have for the assignment.
Grit is what drives all people into learning what they want to learn, or need to learn for a reason that is important to the person. Having grit is important, and what is more important is using grit for the right reasons. If I take what little grit I have and apply it to an assignment, then it will make the overall difference in my school work.
Sadly, I'm still working on doing this.
However, grit isn't all that a student like me needs to accomplish an assignment. Another factor for completion of such a task is also how much energy and passion a teacher puts in pushing his/her students in doing an assignment. Ever find it easier to listen to a lesson on a subject when the teacher talks with passion in their speech? This is also the case for school assignment, because its also a lesson, one that a teacher has made for the student to learn about something themselves.
If a teacher puts energy/passion into his/her students completing an assignment, then the students will pick up on this energy themselves and use it to work harder on their own work.
So, with the right attitude from a teacher and enough forced grit, school assignments become not as much boring homework, but a fun learning challenge.

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
― Toni Morrison



I have many ideas for writing, and there are many things I wish to read about, especially what I want to happen to characters I like in novels/manga I read.
When something I want to happen doesn't happen, I think of what I expecting to happen in the book and I think about some of my own story ideas, and then I write my own story. This is generally known as fan-fiction.
However, I don't just use my ideas for these fan-fiction stories, I also make my own stories and turn it into a book. Though, I can never give them a good opening or ending, but that's what practice is for.
