I’m a Flexible Grass: the Art of Bending Introduction Inspiration: 《赋得古原草送别》 唐： 白居易 离离原上草，一岁一枯荣。 野火烧不尽，春风吹又生。 远芳侵古道，晴翠接荒城。 又送王孙去，萋萋满别情。 I wrote this Abecedarian poem, “I’m a Flexible Grass,” as a way to explore a simple idea: sometimes, the things we’re taught to admire—strength, stature, unyielding confidence—aren’t what help us survive.

Why do I like soccer Soccer is the sport that I love. My first encounter with soccer was during the first day of 7th grade. During recess, I was walking alone in the grasslands, not knowing what to do. I was too afraid to find a friend to play, the empty walls around my mind was overwhelming!

It was kind of scary, and out of nowhere I asked, “Can I join?” I r ...
