A Transparent Veil: An Original Poem

Your ordinary cat lover, biology enthusiast, and advocate for social issues. The type of person to stress, yet procrastinate, make goals and schedules but forget, and the type to sleep late at night for no reason at all. Regardless of a few bad habits, I put 105% effort in everything I do. I tend to get excited over little things, like color-coded outfits and stationary, and I find pleasure in serving my parents and others. I often find myself wanting to make a difference in the world, however I realize that by striving to understand myself and others and by expressing my voice, I already am. And you are too. "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Hafsah Syed • Muslim • Grade 11 Student, Crescent Heights High School
