Maya Angelou Dream Questions

Angelou makes a wonderful statement by saying ¨the universal human power to triumph over adversity.¨ I believe everyone has this power, not just me. Most people don´t give up on life, which means people overcome adversity a lot over their whole entire life. I overcome adversity almost every single day of my life by dealing with school. School is difficult for me, and I overcome it every single day and get through each school year. It's tough, but overcoming something only makes you a better person overall. If only more people knew about Maya's work, other people who are having trouble overcoming could look to her for inspiration. Her writing and type of quotes she gives for documentation is truly inspiring, if only more people were more aware of her work, we could all be more inspired.

¨There´s a world of difference between truth and fact.¨ Another one of Angelou´s quotes that is so inspiring to me. Truth is something that is morally correct to human beings. Fact is something that is 100% true and doesn´t necessarily have to be morally correct. That´s what I think Angelou is trying to say, is that you should always tell the truth because it is morally right. And some people might not think the same thing, but this is the positive type of mindset. When people start thinking in this mindset, maybe this world can become a better place. I mean who knows? Maybe it can better our world.

Much like Angelou does with her ¨small mind¨ to get ready to write, I have to get a clear mind. In order to get this clear state, I need to relax. I big about having my own time to relax, every single night I set aside an hour or two where I can kick back and not have to worry about anything. I just started this technique this year and I've noticed it helps me a lot. A lot of time when I come home from school I find myself tired, so now I usually take a nap or just relax in my bed. Since this all took place, I even noticed that my grades in school improved by a huge amount. And it has even helped out with other activities I do outside of school and away from home. My baseball practice sessions have improved miraculously as I feel like I have more energy, along with all my other hobbies.
