Additional Info
After you return from your Sophomore Forum, we will start in with the introduction to the "Name" essay that you will be writing.

To get you thinking about yourself and your name, we will write an acrostic poem. An acrostic takes each letter of your name and uses it as the start of a line of poetry.

Ideally, you will use this as an opportunity to really explore who you are and what you stand for, what you love and dislike, what you dream and what you fear, etc.

My example:
   Juggling the many faces of me,
   Understanding that being a chameleon isn't always bad
   So that I can make the most of every opportunity and person I meet.
   Taking is not my strength;
   Instead, I am an ear, an advice offerer,
   Never assuming. Always living and letting live.
