Yellow Class: Song of the Sophs
“That the
powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse …”
Tell me what “verse”
you will contribute to the world, in two to three sentences OR lines of verse.
Do not include
your name in your verse. I intend to put all of your class’s responses together
into one Song of the Sophs that we
will set to music and sing at the next schoolwide assembly.
Only kidding
about the music and singing part.

I will embrace any challenge
I will not back down
I will jump the hurdles
I will stand my ground
Perhaps one day, I shall grasp the helm of life,
Taking my father’s place-behind a desk, diagnosing the sick.
I want to leave tworld in better condition whn I entered it. I want to help people see the goodness in life and others.
I don’t know what the exact words of my verse are yet, but I know my verse’s melody. It hums a tune of change and importance through reaching out and making a difference in the lives of innumerable people. Whether a lawyer, doctor, engineer, or performer, I know I want to contribute something, maybe a cure, idea, or invention, which will change the world forever.
I will always strive to make the world a better place,
By being kind to all,
No matter their color, height, hair, or race.
I want to explore.
I want to visit new places and discover new things, and show the world everything I learn.
I want to be the sun in a darkened sky.
I want to commit my life to something that I love to do and that I will never tire of doing. I never want to lose the passion that pushes me to do everything I can to change the world into a better place for future generations. I want to find a cure for a seemingly unconquerable disease. And when it’s all over, I want to look back and know that I have made a difference in the lives of multitudes of people.
I will sing of joy and trouble.
I will sing of love and distress.
I will sing of mountains and valleys.
And when I leave this world behind,
My voice will remain.
My destination is unknown
But my directions are forward and upward
With intellect as a map and my heart as a compass
From service and sacrifice my success will spring
I want to be the highest ranked defense attorney in New York City. I want to save many wrongly convicted people from spending their lifetimes in prison. I want to help bring justice to the world.
No one can know right now how their life is going to unfold or where life will take them. It’s just not possible. Sure, you can have an idea, but that’s not set in stone. Like everyone else, I have an idea. I want to become a marine biologist or animal scientist. I may not end up curing cancer, or becoming an athlete that thousands of kids look up to, or an actress that millions of people love, but I will be me. And to me, being myself means more than any of those things. If I can make a difference in at least one person’s life, I can change their world.
I will contribute a hard-working attitude in which I will put everything I have into what I am doing. I am going to use this to be influential in the world by helping to find a reusable and more eco-friendly energy source for the world to use.
Each day I'll work to put a smile on someone's face,
I'll help humans venture into the depths of empty space
Anything to accelerate the advancement of the human race
I hope to make a difference in the world by becoming an engineer who helps to solve some of the world's current problems. I could work with chemicals to make more efficient alternatives to things such as gasoline to reduce pollution in the environment.
I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was
To change the world is my real test
To accomplish this, is my cause
I know it is my destiny
I want to be a person who helps others. My wish is to help kids with cancer in hope that they won't have to suffer anymore.
One day I will spread my artistic talents through the world,
One painting, one drawing, one sketch at a time
I will strive to bring peace and hope to those that seek my assistance. Those that I help will vary from ailing patients to the poorest of third-world countries. I will guide them in the right direction with my knowledge, as I guide myself in the right direction with my wisdom.
I want to explore.
I want to visit new places and discover new things, and show the world everything I learn.
I want to be the sun in a darkened sky.
I will acquire the powers of technology and science, amassing knowledge day by day.
These I shall use, to serve the people; making a happier, safer, more enjoyable world.
Just as an actor has his stage,
A lawyer has his court
And I shall play the leading role of justice.
I want to do something exciting with my life.
I want to love what I do and always want to do it.
I don't know what I will do, but whatever it is I want to be remembered for it.
I want an occupation that is flexible enough to able to be a suitable wife and mother. I want to help children with speech impediments learn to speak correctly in order to prevent some from being singled out and bullied later in life so that they may be able to accomplish what they wish without this obstacle.
I want to show the world who I truly am.
I will not back down from a challenge,
I will show my strength,
I will show my courage.
I want to do something adventurous and travel the world when I'm older. I want to wake up in the mornings to something that I love doing. I want to positively impact the lives of other people.
Even through everything and being put down all my life, I will prove them all wrong.
I will achieve whatever I put my mind to.
They will all be surprised and regretful for all they have said.
I want to be known throughout time
And i don't care how, when, or why
On the football field in ten years
Or in a space lab with my peers
