If I could have any superhero power it would be the power of flight. Flying would be so butt kicking awesome. I wouldn't ever feel short again because I could just fly higher than anyone taller than me. Flying would be simply amaz-z-zing. I could also reach for things in high places waaayyyy more easily. I would be fantasticmastic!

A Poem by Sami:

They whispered for things that would make them all the world could see
They whispered for things that would make most men cringe
They whispered: these men are not the flowers that we be
They whispered of the weeds who would be extinguished by them
Extinguished by the will of the flowers
Because these weeds were not
Roses
Tulips
Lilacs
Or Daisies
These weeds were something awful, something that might choke the life from the garden and strangle the roots of the grass
Or at least that is what the beautiful flowers believed
So they tried to smite the weeds
They tried to kill them with pesticides
They tried to drive them from the garden
They tried to ignore their existence
They tried to deny all life
By the end of all days many of the weeds had vanished
But one little voice spoke out in a tone like velvet
"Are we not all plants who grow from the same earth? Do we not share the same soil? Why must we be divided and classified as weeds because our petals do not bloom the same as yours? Let us share the garden and let us cherish the land we love together!"
The garden was quiet
The little weed was looked upon with criticizing eyes
Amongst the sunrises and moonrises that followed
The flowers shrieked in protest and demanded that the little weed's acumen be silenced
But the little weed just smiled
For he knew the best minds had been turned and that the best of the flowers would know
And thus
Somehow the weed, lived happily amongst all the flowers

In my life I am powerless over the way people choose to treat me based off of what they think hey know about me. To be honest, I am not really that powerless in my life. I can change almost anything I want with a little effort and desire. Life isn't what it used to be, we have many more options than about 50 years ago.

I honestly don't want to play a role in the past. I want to be a part of the future. It is great to want to go back and be someone from he Revoloutionary War or to help defeat Napolean at Waterloo. However, if any people or things were changed to someone or something new, then the world would not be as it is now and it would not have the chance to make a new history. I want to be known for something yes, but I want to be known for something that I can do in today's world. I want to change the world and I'm not just preaching Obama here. I want to work towards peace for all on our earth without stripping humanity of it's individuality. I want life and love to be two things that people treasure with the utmost care and put first and foremost. I want to make history, I don't want to be apart of what's already happened.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

I believe this quote means, if you want to see the world become something better or become a way you wish it to be, then be that means for it to change that way. If you don't act on your desires then you will never see them fulfilled. This quote tells us that in clear words. Also, you don't have to wait for someone else to start working towards change, you can being yourself. If the world needs peace or reform, then allow yourself to be the means for that.
