Our English homework for the past two days has been to write a flyting (boast) about ourselves, inspired by Beowulf, who, when meeting Hrothgar, shows off all his talents and skills.

Our requirements were to have heavy alliteration in each line, no end rhymes, include 2 kennings, and a caesura in each line (which she later took out, so that's why only the first half has caesuras in every single line). I'm actually kind of proud of mine.

Hail, H-2!
Gary is my guardian, Connie is my caretaker. I am
The soon-to-be savior of this sea of beasts;
Going green is my greatest goal. Also,
I am the player of piano, I chatter in Chinese,
I sing from the soul. Good grades and
AP tests are my triumph at a scholar’s home. Bravery,
Honesty, loyalty: these are virtues that I value
And possess. People perceive me as
Friendly yet fire-y, passive yet passionate,
Smart yet silly. My potential is prodigious,
The possibilities are perpetual, and
The future is bright and boundless.
