A Happy Life and "A"

[amymc1986]

I don't know about any of you, but I sure feel stressed. I was thinking and the one thing that I truly hate about February is that we don't have a statutory holiday. Did you know that the United States has something called "President's Day?" How fair is that? Most of the US doesn't even vote, then the ones who vote the "prez" in hate him, but even

The A's!

Hey Amy,
I really like that poem; it was a nice and inspirational poem about always being optimistic in life. It’s very important for us students to keep our head up high and keep trekking through, as the end is almost near. Thank you for finding such a poem. I felt a little bit energized after reading it.

I like your idea that the use of 'A' represents the beginning. This is true to the fact that we see this letter as the starting point of the alphabet. As well have you ever thought that when you recite your vowels you also begin with 'A'. Perhaps the author sensed the importance of the letter and therefore chose to use it in her poem.

Yes, I think that it is significant that the lines of the poem begin with the letter "A". As the poem ends with some "B"'s, I think that this signifies the birth of new days. Just as the night comes after morning, so does "B" come after "A". This poem reminds us that there is "always" a new day coming!

I think this is a great guide, but not necessarily realistic. Everyone should try to do most of the things mentioned in this poem, but I know that I cannot always keep my cool. "Always aim to reach the moon / and you'll never be alone" reminds me of a bookmark that I have that says, "Reach for the moon, and even if you fail, at least you'll land among the stars." Oh yes, a real boost for my morale :P I enjoy the poem's overall message, as well as the lineage of A's followed by a single B.
