Osmosis of Science Knowledge.

I have now taken the ACT test three times. Once as a sophomore, once as a junior, and now once as a senior.

As a sophomore I scored a composite 30. I was thrilled with this score, and even more exciting was the well-roundedness of my score. My lowest sub-score (the subgroups are English, Math, Reading, and Science/Reasoning) was a 28 and my high a 31.

My junior year I scored a composite 31, which I was, again, very happy about. Unfortunately, my science sub-score dropped one point from a 30 as a sophomore to a 29, but I compensated by jumping my English score from a 30 to a 34.

Today I got my scores for the test. I scored a composite 31. Again. I know it is still a good score, but I'm really frustrated with myself. My science sub-score was a 25.

Twenty-five.

My stellar english score also dropped from a 34 to a 33. I really am not disappointed in the score itself. It's going to get me into BYU, which has been the goal since forever. I'm probably going to get a scholarship too, which is very good. I'm just disappointed in myself. If I had simply matched my score on the science portion from my sophomore year, I would have the 32 I was shooting for.

English Muffins! (That's my new curse word.)

Poetry is Beautiful

The still sounds of a rainstorm speak.
They speak truth,
Bang
Swish.
Pitter patter.

My heart sings the song of eternity,
The anguish of a broken soul,
The rush of life coming fast,
The redeeming song of light.

Stand back up,
Run a mile,
Express some thanks,
Give a hug,
Close your eyes,
Vent some feelings,
Smell your pillow,
Fix some mistakes.

Moments define our lives.
