Ass I grew older

Which poems had the most meaning for you personally?
The poem that had the most meaning for me personally was As I grew older because it sort of gives the illusion of as you get older you can over come challenges you could not over come in the past

What ideas or feelings seem most significant to you. Why?
The feeling that the main character is black and overcoming you personal challenges.
I feel that the main character is black because in the poem it say "My dark hands!"
I feel that the main character is overcoming challenges because its saying that a wall or obstacle.
At the end of the poem the main character is overcoming this "wall" and is breaking free
This ties into the first point because it seems like she would be overcoming racial challenges and she is finally free of discrimination.
