Langston Hughes Paper by Tre Branch

A page of writing that comes from the truth?  Weird instructions, I can already see.  However, I find writing to be soothing and drama free so I write to tell and reveal pieces of me.  Some are big and some are small but each one helps to show it all.  I fight, I struggle, and I overcome, these were three things I learned when I was very young.    Seeing my mother support the household all alone with no help made me realize independence was key.  Something I knew that would become a part of me.  Inspired to fight and reach for the sky I always walked with my head held high.  The word “no” didn’t stop me but taught me to see things differently.  In a light that was my own I walked head held high across the path.  Misery would not hold me back.  Determination from a young age made me see how much things could and would change.  Living my own life, one which I could grow made me feel as if sooner or later I would know.  A destiny I would chase not wait to be handed to me or put in place.  It was time to go and start something new a path that would hold to be true.  College bound and ready for whatever made my determination grow to be even better.  Living in a world that wasn’t free made me feel like it wasn’t a place for me.  A dreamer, a person, someone with a lot of faith took the world on and would find his place.  A hard worker, with a gentle pace I plan out my life with every step that I take.  A few friends here and there but over time I learned who really cared.  Drama filled and overwhelmed I made the mistake of giving, instead of taking.  To this day I still hate not learning from old mistakes and living in the past.  A human being with the knowledge and experience to grow I always knew it was time to go.  A place, a building, a different environment far away from here and one that would contain no tears.  A journey to be taken that would continue to help me find the light. SUNY Albany I am here so it’s time to fight to keep my destiny clear.  No regrets and no mistakes it’s that time to see and find my place.
