The next six years
of my life.

Chorus,
A week of band camp
Marching and Playing
Learning new warm up songs,
I can't sing.

Paintings and masks
Hot air balloons and CO2 cars
Do I want to be an architect?
Or an artist?

Typing, sewing, cooking
What is my name?

Home and Careers

Pomegranates,
The Diary of Anne Frank,
Across the hall from
In 1492, Columbus sailed
the ocean blue.

Both
Science and math
Led me down the path
to where I am now,
majoring physical therapy.

Friends!
A circle that began in 7th grade
Expanding through the years.
Began the best years
of my life.

Cara Sirianni is a student at Daemen College. She says, " I have varsity letters in swimming and track and enjoy rollerblading. Sylvia Plath ignited my interest in poetry through her honest writing. During my senior year of high school I had to write a poetry anthology in which my main piece focused on "The Mirror" by Sylvia Plath, although, I honestly enjoy reading poetry more than writing it."
