Today we had a mind blowing speaker called Deborah Emmanuel who was an amazing inspiration to everyone.It was with this talk that I found out how to immerse myself deeply with poetry and how writing about it with reflections of my daily life.Deborah Emmanuel is a Singaporean poet who has dealt with a rough life because as she describes, her family was broken she felt that she could never invest time in a relationship and that it was just a waste of time.She writes her poems based off her emotions and real life provoking experiences which leaves me think what a powerful and though provoking way that is to think about certain choices we have to make sometimes.Since Deborah did poetry ever since she was a child is why she chose to continue her passion in the first place.Meeting Deborah in person taught me and helped me understand that what ever a person should do to overcome certain obstacles and challenges and we can help ourselves by immersing our thoughts by doing something we love.What left me wondering at the end is, do you believe in second chances?
