11.   The most influential leader I’ve had in my life is my grandma. I’ve always looked up to her because of the godly and compassionate person that she is. She’s faced adversities and became a stronger person in the end and never compromised her integrity. She’s also influential to me because she always sticks up for the things she believes in.

22.    I agree with the poem. I think it means different things for different people, but for me it means having an outlet from monotonous, everyday life and being able to express true thoughts and feelings in an intimate way. I think poetry is a way for any human being to channel passion into words and into lines that all flow together to convey a concept, feeling, emotion, state of being, etc.

33.  I agree with Mr. Keating’s quote. We are all content with thinking we completely know and grasp an idea or concept, but most of the time there is always something new to learn or a different perspective to view something. I have to take a different perspective about my older sister and the life she’s living. I have to put myself in her shoes in order to relate and understand her, and if I don’t I tend to judge or disassociate myself from her.  

44.  The “verse” I want to leave on this world is being a mom and a wife someday. I want to also be a painter and physically leave my mark that way or make that my lasting impression.
