Assignment #11: The Concrete Rose


Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.

Why would a rose grow through a hard, sturdy, tough concrete? A beautiful rose: luxuries red, petals so smooth and untouched, smell so wonderful so attractive you almost thought it was just a picture. In the time of need everyone has something beautiful and amazing sprout out from the midst of their troubles, from the crack in the concrete. A red rose symbolizes love, respect, courage, passion and reveals unconscious beauty. I’m not a sidekick and I cannot read futures, but one thing is for sure, is that I can tell you never give up when you think everything is going wrong. Nothing is going to get you far enough in life if you quit. Always remember that your rose is going to grow through the concrete at your front door. Whether your rose is, the love of your life, a healing in the time of sickness, money for your financial needs, no homework for a whole week, or something that causes a turning point in your life, that rose is going to grow.
When Tupac said “it learned to walk without having feet,” I knew for a fact that, that line has more than one meaning. When someone is determined to do something that seems impossible to do, do not let that thing stop you. You can do anything if you set your mind to do. Every single one of us only uses one half of our brain, what happened to the other half? You know how many times I have thought about what humans are capable of doing if we actually did use our whole brain rather than one half? I think that if we use parts of our brains that we never used before, we are capable to walk through walls; do things we always dreamt of doing like flying or levitating objects or people. If you think you can do it, then you can do it.
“By keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.” Dreams are one of the most powerful things in the world. Dreaming is like an entrance to a whole other dimension. It opens doors for a different world that you can create; a world that you live by and love to be in. A dream is a goal and goals are meant to be reached no matter how ridiculous it might seem. Love it and hold on to it because maybe that dream was the answer to why you are here standing in the middle of this world. If you think about it, dreams are also lessons in life. Dreams can teach you were you needed to be, why things occurred and happen the way they did. However, not all dreams are meant to explain to you the reason why things happen because life always has mystery and maybe you just weren’t qualified to know why. Learning, obviously, is something we do every day. Just because you don’t get it the first time doesn’t mean you can’t practice it and try to rethink different ways to learn it. Help yourself go through places your closest family thought you never could do. Prove them wrong and have them look at you with amazement, and disbelief because YOU did it. Take everything one step at a time and just learn to pass the obstacles, the tests, the trials, the tribulations, and the temptations. You’ll make it through. Become the next Bill Gates. J
