Fortunes Favored: A Sonnet of Stride

By Chance LaVoie

Within the fields where play and learning blend,

I found my pace, and gently marked each stride.

In soccer’s feats and football’s tough contend,

I learned the worth of teammates by my side.

Through LIFE Crew’s lens, a broader view I sought,

To light a path for those who’d follow suit.

In physics’ grasp, a deeper thinking brought,

New courses born from our collective root.

These years have taught the subtler arts of lead,

Where victories lie not in goals alone.

But in the growth from each encountered need,

And wisdom gleaned from seeds of challenge sown.

Reflecting now, these lessons form my creed,

In life’s vast field, where heart and purpose meet.
