The Essay that got me into my dream College:

I twitch to the beat of my own drum

when the thrum, thrum, thrum of my heart is done

I’ll have changed the world one by one.

The world will know my name

I’ll put a stop to endless shame

and show them this is not a game.

Twitching makes me who I am

my heart is a priceless gem.

This twitching world refuses to see

that twitches do not ruin me.

I twitch until the break of dawn

I twitch all twitching night long

And on

And on

And on

A burden does not twitching make

I can do what all others do for goodness sake!

I can build a boat and hope it floats

Across the majestic Lake Fred

Or throw on boots at crack of dawn

And make my way across the eastern lawn

To the trail where Pine warblers and Eastern Phoebes return

And sing their joyful songs of spring.

Or watch the Ospreys upon the lake

Catching the fish their talons take, hold,

Onto the passing days,

Never forget the many ways,

That I will grow and change.

I love Noyes when the night is young

And whispers here and there have begun.

I’ll save the ducks,

Make my quest in ARGO,

Be taken to different worlds with Idols of the Tribe,

And keep an Active Mind,

This world can be dark,

For those who aren’t

“Normal” like the rest.

But normality is bland

And difference is a bold splash

on the grayness of the world.

I aim to change,

To help,

To prevent,

To show the world around.

There is no set normality,

Difference make me,

Me,

And I,

will not rest until the day

when all of us can twitch away.
