I started this semester with the poem Into My Own by Robert Frost.  Into My Own was the first poem in A Boy's Will collection.  The final poem in the collection was Reluctance which is recited in the video above.  At the beginning of the collection, Frost was trying to figure out who he was.  By the end, he had finished that particular phase in his life.  He saw the seasons change and learned all he could during the time.  Reluctance is about letting go of that phase of his life and beginning a new one.  This is one of my absolute favorite poems by Frost.  I wish I would have found these videos earlier in the semester! I prefer to hear a poem read aloud. 

I found quite a few stories I liked during this semester.  I had a rough go trying to keep up with everything the 2nd half, and I'm looking forward to a summer break! I was going to take a couple classes, but I'm feeling run down with all my responsibilities.  Hopefully, by next fall, I'll be refreshed and ready to finish my associates degree. Just two classes to go and the capstone course.  Good luck to everyone next semester! :)
