I Am

I’m from “Run, Jane, Run;
See how Jane runs”,
That precious book, in my early years, that highlighted more action words than any other.
I am from Stone Soup the folk tale that everyone truly enjoyed
Although silly, unrealistic and highly cultural, it sure was a pleasure to read.

I’m from Shakespeare in all its glory
The plays, the essays, the discussions, the frustration
My high school years were unforgettable
“The world is a stage and we are the actors”
“Oh, Juliet, where art thou”?
My favorite, to my surprise was Macbeth –
“Fair is foul and foul is fair”
“High school! That is a step on which I must fall down or else o’erleap”.

Then came those tiresome and sleepless nights, yet enjoyable
Without a doubt, university was a blast!
From electives to core subjects, from Piaget to Research Methods.
Although many years have passed, I have now found myself walking the same path.
