Blog Assignment 1

My name is Shardae Foley. I am from Hickory, Mississippi. I graduated from Newton County High School. I also attended East Central Community College in Decatur, MS. I graduated with an Associate Degree in Arts. My major at the University of Southern Mississippi is Paralegal Studies with a minor in Latin. After I graduate from USM I hope to work as a paralegal in a lawyer's office.
My favorite hobby is writing poetry. When I was young writing poetry helped me express my feelings. I am a disabled person I have cerebral palsy and there was a lot of things I did not understand as a child. It provided a way for me to began to expect the things I can not change. The poetry writings I did and being able to go to college played a major role in helping me to except my condition. It changed my life because I had begun to worry less about what people said and focus on my studies. I begun to realize that I was not any different from the other people I could do anything if I had the determination. Throughout my school years I have maintained an overall average of 3.0 G.P.A and higher.
The reason I say my poetry inspires me is because I would write about my pain, problems, and accomplishments I have made so far. This helped to me start to care more about my life. It was my poetry that I used to show my problems but also my accomplishments. I have learned to take the negative things people say and put it into a poem but with a positive ending. It shows that I have no regrets in the decisions I made.
