Today we had poetry with Ms Saxon. We learnt about the famous poem by Martin Luther King,
What is your life's blueprint?


I want to ask you a question, and that is: What is your life's blueprint?

Now each of you is in the process of building the structure of your lives, and the question is whether you have a proper, a solid and a sound blueprint.

I want to suggest some of the things that you should begin your life's blueprint. Number one in your life's blueprint, should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your worth and your own somebodiness. Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance.

Secondly, in your life's blueprint you must have as the basic principle the determination to achieve excellence in your various fields of endeavour. You're going to be deciding as the days, as the years unfold what you will do in life-what your life's work will be. Set out to do it well.

And I say to you, my young friends, door are opening to you-doors of opportunities that were not open to your mother and your father- and the great challenge facing you is to be ready to face these doors as they open.....

And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as God almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. Don't just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead and the unborn couldn't do it any better.

If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the metropolitan opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of Heaven and Earth will have to pause and say: Here lift a great street sweeper who swept his job well. If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley on the side of the hill.

Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.

Here are the starts of some of the peon we wrote.


What is your life's blueprint?


Maia
Buried in side you will be the best person you can be.
If an opportunity comes, grab it with all you've got and hold on as long as you can.

Don't let anyone take your ideas and claim them for their there own.
If someone shots you down get back up and fight for yourself when an idea strikes share it to the world, don't just share it to your friends.



Emma
What is your life's blueprint?

Search deep for your true self, follow pathways to your heart, grab the opportunities that pass by.
If someone shoots you down, face it.
Don't be that same person you were yesterday, push your toward and don't let anyone push you back.



Dilkee
What is your life's blueprint?

Use determination to archive,
Achieve the best you can.
Seek for your inner spirit,
Seek for your life's blue print.



Finley
What is your life blueprint?

If you want to be a star rise high and become a sun,
If you want to paint pictures think bigger and create sculptures.
Don't let people drag you down in what you truly believe in,
Don't wait for fame because if you do it will give you nothing.



Mya
What is your life's blueprint?

Seek from your soul,
Make it more than just great,
Grab the opportunity with two hands and your heart,
Give it the success it needs



Flo
What is your life's blueprint?

Is it were you are loyal,
Better then who you want to be,
Be kinder than your kind heart.



Sofia
What's your life's blueprint?

If you see an opportunity,
Take it with all your might and don't let go.
If you are a rubbish truck driver, drive it the best you can.
If you have a dream share it with the world,
Dream like Neil Armstrong the first man to walk on the moon.
If you have a say make it count.
