Great Regulars: "I've noticed that we remember small bursts

of life rather than entire days," [Carrie Anne] White said. "The more variety we put into our day, the more bursts of life we will be able to savor on a nostalgic afternoon later in life. I've been trying to keep this in mind as I push through these final days in high school."

One way that White savors these "small bursts" is by writing poetry. In fact, she relies pretty heavily on poetry to help her understand the world around her.
