Imagist Poetry: Visual Storytelling In regards to discussing my experience in high school, I tend to keep quiet about that part of my past primarily due to the lack of memories I have about high school, especially 12th grade. However, I will say that out of all the lessons that I learned in high school; when discussing concepts like time management and with meeting deadlines, there has always been this one lesson that has been engrained into my brain.
