I remember the feelings of joy that I had, when I woke up that early morning. I sat straight up, as if a knife had been stabbed into my back, and could not go back to sleep.

Stress is a huge problem for me in my time of life. Stress occurs when we adapt or adjust to the environment, mentally or physically. Every day there's something new that's stressful. My car will break, tests coming up, all at once of course. All of a sudden they"ll be a problem between me and one of my girl friends. Then to top it off, and it's not even anything hard or so aggravating, my mom would ask me to do something for her after my hard day and school and work, and then I just flip out.

AE Housman Reading this poem I had several different impressions. First reading it in a literal aspect I saw a child who ran races and perhaps won. Even if he didn't win he was made to feel like a winner. "And home we bought you shoulder high" (line 4) this says they bought him home proudly but not necessarily that he won. Next something happens to the runner that makes him unable to run, perhaps old age but I think death because of the following lines: Will flock to gaze the strength less dead"(line26) I also think there were key statements throughout to somewhat changed my thought pattern.

I also received the Dr. Lee Robertson scholarship and that gave me even more of a reason to come. I know a pretty good amount of people that go to school here ...
