1. My Dad is my influential leader in my life. He is very funny, outgoing, and we have alot in common. We will talk about cars, sports, just about anything. He does not show his love, but when u talk to him he has a heart and what he does for others is great. He tells me many stories all very funny but very influential on how he grew up in a family with no love from his parents but your brothers and sisters are always there for you. He tells me this a lot gets annoying but true, that you can do anything, as long as you put your mind set to it and just work.

2. I agree with Mr Keating, point of view on poetry. It's expresses love and beauty with the form of literature to show feeling and also to express the way you feel with words. My view on poetry is to express life in the meaning of words.

3. Yes I agree, you should always look at things at a different perspective. Never be a follower, and just go by rules and what evreybody else agrees on. Be yourself and we all have different opinions on things so its alright to be different to think outside the box.

4. I just hope to leave a good impression on people, and be a leader to all my peers.
