I had the realization, especially as I've started the new year, that I've been thinking too small. If you don't already know, I've been working in Human Resources for over a year now since graduation. I work for a software company; I spend close to 6 hours a day staring at columns of rectangular boxes, also known as Excel.
This thought has become more into focus as I've been interviewing applicants to Penn--I see the unfettered idealism in their eyes and in their words.
What's my dream? To write. To inspire.
Like gasping for air,
A cough steals air from the throat
Like a cold and empty vacuum.
Gasping, sniffling, dripping.
The whiteness of a canker sore under
The lower lip.
Cold air nips at the sides of
His cheeks.
