Memories are one of the most important things we should keep. It might be a photo, or 

something you witnessed. Some of the biggest memories are the little art projects we made in 

school, or little trinkets from a vacation spot that holds a special place in your room. Now that 

in less than a year we will be shifting into college, the past should never leave you. You were 

once that little kindergartener who was making a hand turkey in their art class, but it’s just 

different now. Our artistic skills are now through college essays and design the perfect essay 

that will get us into our dream school, but those essays are about our past and our loving 

memories.

  Dear Rupi Kaur, The first time I ever read one of your poems was the day I fell in love with your poetry. The 2 lines that started it all were “what is stronger than the human heart which shatters over and over and still lives.” I didn’t know how impactful these 2 lines were until I fully felt every single word. Ever since that day if a teacher would ever ask me to read some poetry I search up 3 words every time “Rupi Kaur Poems” and will spend it just reading the poems that you write. Your poems are so perfectly crafted that in just a few sentences you show a whole new meaning to such a simple thing. There are not a lot of poets in my life that give me goosebumps, but reading your poems makes that happen. Thank you for writing poems that mean so much to me. Thanks, Mehereen Kaur

I just wanna be young again  When we were younger we just wanted to be older Playing with our barbie dolls Watching PBS Kids Going outside to ride our bikes, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, and jump roping Now all we can do is watch from our window  Watching our younger sibling  While secretly wishing we were outside I just wanna be young again   I just want my childhood back I could finally get some sleep I would not worry about grades, colleges, or homework I could watch TV without feeling guilty I would watch Disney shows to see what my life would be like if I did karate, lived in New York, or even record videos to help my younger brother I could watch Nick shows and dream that I was part of a family filled with superheroes, be part of a webcam show, or have two fairy godparents I would be able to have no regrets on having a nap I could be able to play with my toys I don't know why I even wished to be older I wanted to be messy with this poem but on the topic ...

When I was in 5th grade, our class read Wonder. We all sat on the carpet waiting patiently for our teacher to start the read aloud. This was the first encounter that I had with this specific point of view. Each chapter of the book was dedicated to one of the characters, and we would see through the eyes of that character. What fascinated me was why did the author choose to do this? As I got older I realized why? Olivia, Auggie's older sister, said “ August is the Sun. Me and Mom and Dad are planets orbiting the Sun. The rest of our family and friends are asteroids and comets floating around the planets orbiting the Sun.” I felt like the answer was so that the book didn’t just revolve around Auggie but so everyone had a moment to be revolved around. This was my first epiphany about point of view, that I will probably never forget.
