The Satisfaction of Doing What I Love.

Tonight I performed; I performed at showcase night At the John and Jean Knox Center for the Performing Arts. The experience made me realize why I wanted to choose writing as a career choice. The satisfaction I gained from written my own poem, and then performing my pieces in front of people gave me insight to my dreams. The power of communicating with people through the pen, and the paper is an uplifting feeling that I cannot explain. I didn’t know if I really wanted to do it, but I thought, what could possible go wrong. I decided to do perform, and I am very glad I did. I could communicate my feelings, without feeling venerable to any one’s criticisms. I felt the abundant feelings of joy, happiness, nervousness, and anxiousness, but through all my emotions I got the job done. It made me realize that I can do anything I really put my mind to. It is just me that put the limitations on me. Sometimes I am afraid of laughter, even though I use it as a front for my normal human emotions, such as sadness, embarrassment, and doubtfulness, I too am afraid to be laugh at. I am started to realize that whatever I do if I am serious, passionate, and committed to it, people around me will support my decisions. Journalism is my major, and I love it, I just don’t know if I’ve been devoting my time to working on perfecting my craft, even though perfection is an illusion. I must practice to become better. I love working story and spreading the news, it is what I am passionate about, written and articulating through words. I often stress to people do what you love, do what you want to do every day, you wake up and it makes you happy, if so do it. I am going to image that I can do anything beyond measure and envision the best that I could be, then strive to meet that goal. My experience of performing has opened me up to a new world, a new beginning, and a new me. It has helped me to realize that I am going to continue to do what I love to do. I cannot fool myself anymore I must put my love first and put my social life second and become what I channel to be everyday, and that is great. We are what we think we are, and I am going to be the omega and say that I will follow my dreams at any expense, at any tribulation, and at any triumph, I will continue to strive for excellence and be a role model to those, who will succeed me. I will not just be a lasting memory, but I will be a legend. I am happy I performed to night it made me want to do what I love to do. I have experienced something that has become me, and I will exercise my abilities in it. I will like to share one of the poems I shared with the audience tonight.
Saviors by Lamar James
We are saviors of ourselves. We are the saviors of the world. We must practice humane traits, and outstanding abilities. We must be able to carry extra weight in our race, grabbing the hands of our brothers and sisters, pulling them forward as we climb, saving them. That is why we are the saviors, utilizes the blessing, and spread the truth. We must start to believe we are the saviors.
Thank you, for letting me share my poem with everyone it is really a blessing.
