One of the major concepts I learned in this class has to be the poem "The Laughing Heart" by Charles Bukowski. This poem has encouraged me to come out of the darkness and discover the light of my path. It also reinforced the idea that I'm the one that should make my own decisions rather than allowing others to influence them.
It's a powerful reminder. The video captures a completely different aspect of the poem's tone than the commercial clip we watched; thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNo problem...I actually used this poem on my personal statement. It really fit my situation and gave me a clear thought on how I should handle it. Thank you for sharing the poem with us Dr. Preston!
