O Life!" by Walt Whitman made me feel seen, as I often find myself questioning life and my purpose in it. In a world where most people appear to have their lives planned out for them, it was comforting to read a poem where the narrator seemed to possess the same questions and concerns as myself. Along with this, the final stanza provided comfort, in that, it assured me that although there may not be an exact answer, there is a purpose behind everyone's life.]]> 2023-10-18 04:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/366415_/nhm08qq09fm1brmn/wish/2752014609 366415_ https://padlet.com/366415_/nhm08qq09fm1brmn/wish/2752016413 "I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way" - John Keating]]> 2023-10-18 04:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/366415_/nhm08qq09fm1brmn/wish/2752016413 366415_ https://padlet.com/366415_/nhm08qq09fm1brmn/wish/2752022940 I will contribute to society by helping those with stutters. To help those who stutter (either due to a condition or due to anxiety), I will become a person who listens. I wish to create a safe space where they do not feel like a burden and can comfortably speak without being rushed or cut off in the middle of their sentence. I hope to help them transform into a confident person who puts themself into the world more often.]]> 2023-10-18 04:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/366415_/nhm08qq09fm1brmn/wish/2752022940 366415_ https://padlet.com/366415_/nhm08qq09fm1brmn/wish/2752024350 I've kept myself busy
With work, life, and my thoughts.
As I stepped back from everything, 
I made my decision.
It has been a year since I last went to the woods.
And I will finally be returning.
This visit, however, will be different;
The snow seems to have stopped falling,
The sun has begun to peek out from the clouds,
And the lake has thawed and filled with glimmering water.

I've kept my promises,
And I've walked my miles,
Yet I do not wish to sleep.
My legs have grown stronger;
Allowing me to continue my journey filled with endless miles.
My eyes have grown more robust;
Allowing me to see the path ahead of me.
Learning from my past,
My skin has become thicker;
Allowing me to endure the winter - should it ever return.
