Welcome!

Welcome to "Finish Strong: Poems to Pass in Class" poetry project! 


As you may know, the fourth quarter can sometimes be stressful for many students in Uni High; whether you're preparing for any final exams, deciding where you're going for college, or finishing your project. We made this blog to inspire all the burnt-out students in the fourth quarter with inspirational and motivational poetry. Every other day, we plan to post one inspirational poem in this blog and on the TV screens in the hallways of Uni High (hopefully soon). Students, teachers, and faculty can view the poem any time of the day and can scan the QR code to view more poems in this blog. In addition, users of this blog are able to comment on poems they find impactful. This way, users can interact with each other and appreciate how poetry is read differently by different people. 



Rules:

This should be self-explanatory. Please do not post any comment that is inappropriate or harms other people. Let's create a safe place so that users can benefit from this project!


We hope you'll enjoy these poems! Happy poetry reading!


Faisal, Gabe, Luke, and Henry

"Have You Earned Your Tomorrow" by Edgar A. Guest

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?      Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;      Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along?      Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way,      Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast,      That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;      Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent?      Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? As you close your eyes in slumber do you t...
