Rose Saunders' Portrait Poem by Rose Saunders

Portrait Poem

saundersar — 2016-08-17 21:55:43 UTC

I am organized and perceptive
I wonder where I will end up after I graduate from ASU
I hear the laughter and silly conversations of my future students
I see the artfully designed and inspiring atmosphere of my soon-to-be classroom
I want to become “Dr. Rose” before I become “Mrs. Rose”
I am organized and perceptive

I pretend that I don’t care when my roommates leave messes in our apartment
I feel optimistic about and prepared for my future
I touch my kitty’s fuzzy belly at the expense of getting treated like I’m his prey
I worry about the future of our planet
I cry for animals in the factory farming industry
I am organized and perceptive

I understand that planning ahead is a huge part of being successful
I say we should all care about saving the earth from destructive human habits because it’s the only planet we have
I dream about publishing books some day
I try to avoid comparing myself to others
I hope to actually make a difference in the lives of my students
I am organized and perceptive

Prince Wolfgang Catbug, the first of his name, future protector of the realm.

This is a picture from almost 2 years ago when my kitty was a baby <3

One of the last times I could hold my chocolate lab, Bailey.

She now weighs over 100 pounds! I wish she lived with me in Boone, but she wouldn't like living in an apartment.

Washington State will always have my heart!

I grew up in Sammamish, Washington-- all the way in the Pacific Northwest. This picture was taken in 2010 at a summer camp that I used to go to and work at. That's Mt. Rainier in the distance, which can be seen from miles away because of its amazing size!

This is my favorite song at the moment.

My sister, Kaitlin, and me.

Yes, my hair is also as curly as my sister's, but I rarely wear it in its natural state.

These books have been my favorite for the past three years, and are far better than the blasphemous HBO show, Game of Thrones, which I refuse to watch...

This is my other dog at home, Lexie.

She's 13 years old now and still going strong!
