8. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
(By William Wordsworth)
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
9. Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly
dance.
10. The waves beside them danced; but
they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had
brought:
11. For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure
fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

WORD DEFINITION
(from www.dictionary.com)
CONTEXTUAL EXAMPLE
Dafodil a bulbous plant, Narcissus
pseudonarcissus, of the amaryllis
family, having solitary, yellow,
nodding flowers that bloom in
the spring
I really love bright and yellow
flowers because they make my
day livelier. How I love daffodils,
indeed.
Flutter to wave, flap, or toss about Look at the fluttering butterflies
in the garden! They are so happy,
aren’t they?
Jocund cheerful; merry; blithe; glad I have never seen him sad all
along. He has always been
jocund.
Oft Often Know what, I often see him pray
when things are getting difficult.
Pensive expressing or revealing
thoughtfulness, usually marked
by some sadness:
Despite the challenging times,
they remained pensive all these
days.
13. The poem that you have
just read manifests how a
person can be lonely and
happy at the same time.
Likewise, an adolescent
like you might be able to
transform your thoughts
and feelings onto a
positive behavior.
14. For instance, like a cloud,
you might be alone at
times, perhaps left
behind by the ones you
consider as close and
significant to you; thus,
you might think and feel
that you are unimportant
to them.
15. However, as what
Wordsworth wrote, “A poet
could not but be gay,” he did
not let the loneliness
envelope him, so he found
his own ways, controlling his
behavior, to be “gay” or
happy even though the
situations are against him.
16. Thoughts, feelings, and behavior do not
necessarily have to be of the same succeeding
level or intensity that one of them may
contradict or control the others.
That is the reason that as a responsible
adolescent, it is imperative that you evaluate
yourself through self-assessment.
17. Self-assessment is your
own assessment of your
thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors which is
completely necessary for
you to arrive to an
informed decision.
18. However, while decisions may be individual,
these are affected by factors like values,
goals, and positive affiliations.
In the study of B. Bradford Brown entitled
The Psychology of Adolescence, he wrote
that the aforementioned factors are
affected by positive family and community
context, emphasizing that skills to deal with
anxiety and adversity are also keys.
19. Hence, an individual must be able to
assess himself or herself accurately
prior to making decisions as the
outcomes of his or her actions can be
the reflections of how he or she is
raised, chooses peers, and deals
with the community.
