By: Javier Gomez, Sophomore My life, defined by a roller coaster of trials and tribulations Like the prisoner, thrown in a lion’s pit, unprotected and vulnerable Imbroglio in a maze of hardships and adversity Clouded by the “fatal prejudice” of humanity. My mother, my teachers, my friends. The bonds I’ve created throughout my journey. They have molded my life. Who I am today, is because of them. They are willows, blooming in luxuriant opulence. My mentors, my guides, my luminosity through the darkest days. Without them, I would be stranded, lost, and afraid. Their beauty and radiance illuminate the cloudy weather. My Mother, my birthgiver, my soul. Taught me the rights from wrongs, the lefts from rights, and the ups from the downs. By my side, through weariness and sickness. Grasping me through every tear that menaced my body. Who held my hand tight and loved me unconditionally, whenever I fell and felt pain? My Mother, a rose, the divinity of beauty. My Sister, my Grandmother, my Aunt My companions through my darkest, unlit nights Have seen my first steps, my first movement, my first words Fights, arguments, and conversations have tested our relationship Yet, our love expressed is unconditional My pride, my joy, my reason to wake up. Their beautiful faces luminate my life. My Sister, My Grandmother, My Aunt-my gratification. My Teachers, my guides, my “light out of the cave” From infancy to the peak of puberty, My writings, my readings, my math, my sciences, All taught by beautiful, wise women. Without them, I would be lost in this cavernous world. Who was there for every test I completed, for every step I took, for every dream I dreamt? My teachers, my coaches, knowledge beyond words. My Friends-powerful women-the meaning of true friendship Ever since I was a flower bud waiting to bloom, I’ve been supported, lifted up, and elevated to the man I am today. Throughout my constant struggles, anxiety, and fears They have parted the sea for my voyage Without them, I would be trampled on with hope no more. My friends-kaleidoscopes of lavishness-potency of luminescence. I, Javier Gomez, have found the women in my life.
My soul, my light, my happiness Thank you to all the women who have sculpted my life My angels, my flowers, my beams And to always remember That I am and will always be the Man in your life.
