Stardust

hellenbarroso,

I once chased a star, that was actually dust

And as I grasped it I felt otherworldly.

There was nothing around, but the moving of stuff

So I floated around knowing I would catch it, promptly.

 

My fingers ebbed, hoping for life

With my newly- found glory

But then I touched it at once, almost died of strife

And put an end to that story.

Many things have inspired me along the way, from the way that atoms interact to universal forces working in tandem to bring joy into my life. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Biological Chemistry from Grinnell College and a Master's of Science in Education and Social Change from the University of Miami. Currently I am a high school science educator studying at Florida Institute of Technology to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. What can I say? An educated mind is a lively soul!
