Thankful for a classmate

I am very thankful for my best friend who also happens to be my English 2 period 5 classmate named Imani Evans. She is worthy of being grateful for because she is a great friend and she is a great English student! I am thankful for many of my classmates because they have given me the opportunity to become somewhat close to them as we sit in a class for around an hour or so and learn. I am specifically grateful for Imani because she has been able to be that friend and classmate that I can say I've been able to "grow with". Especially with writing. Considering I love to write. She is always there to critique my writing and help me become a better writer. And I think I do the same thing for her is different classes that she either struggles with or is in a deep liking for. I think Imani and I are a great friends because of all of these things and that is why for this thanksgiving, I am grateful for her throughout this year at Whitney Young as well as I'm sure I will be every year at Whitney Young

I Celebrate Myself

I celebrate myself. I celebrate myself because of all I have done. I celebrate my writing like Walt Whitman does. I recognize the hard work I put into all that I do. I recognize the love I have to many people, family, friends, life. To celebrate yourself you must have some kind of faith in yourself. I believe this because having faith gives you the mentality to go and just spend that time to celebrate anything you do. I believe like Walt Whitman, a good way to celebrate oneself as well is to take time and look back at all that you've changed. All that you believe you can and will change. Walt Whitman wrote his own piece which looked back at so many of his wonderful works of liturature. He took long periods of time to look at all he had done for liturature. Celebrating myself helps me keep hold in whatever stress is put onto me. To realize the good and bad you have done can keep you in a steady place. Walt Whitman had a special way of writing,  and a large part of me thinks that he had such good writings because he was able to handle things through writing. Writing cleared his mind,  while helping him become a famous well known poet and writer. A large part of me thinks that he did not put as much effort as many people would think. And I would conclude that from his way of releaving his thoughts.
And that is why I follow his theory,  to myself and what I do,  and to keep my celebratory mind by writing.
