I am 17 years old, and I have a plan for life.
My ideal plan for after high school is to attend Brigham Young University, then to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints once I am 19. After serving for two years I plan on returning to BYU, finishing my double major in Linguistics and English, then finding some sort of occupation that is related to my abilities. Most likely I will become an interpreter or translator and serve the United States in some diplomatic way. Later in life I plan on returning to Brigham Young University to get a P.h.D. in Political Science or Philosophy, then serving to the best of my ability volunteering for as many governmental positions as possible. After my children have moved out and have families of their own I plan to serve a second mission for the LDS church with my wife. After retiring from political and religious service I plan on writing and traveling until I'm too old to be ambitious.
I'm currently working on 2 different novels, which wouldn't have a major effect on my plan for life if they became published.

I love people, and that is why I plan on serving people for all my life. If anyone ever needs someone to talk to -a friend or a counselor or a student or a teacher- I am here. My job is to actively listen to whatever you want me to.

This website is ideal for me because I've never met so many great writers until now. I plan on constantly adding to the community through my articles and my impressions of others' articles, and any comments people wish to send are welcomed.
I don't depend on your reaction, but your input helps, so please feel free to critique or congratulate me.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Repentance

10 of 30

To all those with grudges left to fester
Addicts to indolence burdened with guilt
Those swift to boast and slow to remember
To those not yet upon solid ground built

Deny thyself of all ungodliness
Dare ye not to quench the Holy Spirit!
Cleanse thyself so ye all may stand spotless
If ye live righteous ye need not submit

Do what thou will and malice becomes real
And benevolence imaginary
To martyr witnesses we owe our zeal
Every member a missionary

Swift offense followed by years of regret
Be not hasty in thy Spirit contrite
Repent, and Hell's plagues upon thee beset
