When Things Don't Go Right, Go Left!

              The road I've traveled isn't always crystal clear,

              It has gotten bumpy, cloudy, and full of fear.

              The road I've traveled isn't always the best,

     I must confess,

              But I know that I'm truely blessed.

             I'm capable of turning this life around,

       doing what I please,

       I'm not doing it for you,

     I could care less,

    but im doing it for me.

           I traveled back up that gloomy road,

          when I seen where the road first diverged at,

             curious of what that new road holds,

          I took my first big step.

         From there on out,

        my life has been transparent,

         I have nothing else to be scared about,

               I've learned that you sometimes have to test the water,

             or in this case test routes,

               this journey was kind of fun,

       without a doubt!

Taylor Mali: What Teachers Make!

              I too chose this poem because of its powerful meaning. Mali is saying how teachers make a difference because they try their hardest to put knowledge into these kids head. Also, how he make kids sit in study hall in complete silence so they can focus on what they need to do. He makes them work harder than what they thought they can do. He makes them use their brains, teaches them that if you have a heart then follow it. If others don't like it, oh well. At the end of the day, teaches do make a difference!

Lamont Carey; I Can't Read!

                                             
              I chose this poem by Lamont Carey because it has a powerful meaning. He's saying that he can't read and can't write but yet, his teachers are still passing him because he is a basketball scholar. He planned on taking his family out of the ghetto by being the star that he was. Until one day, he was dribbling down the court and got injured. His dreams then just shattered into a million pieces. He is now asking us that without knowing how to read, write, and not being able to run anymore due to his injuries, what are his options?

         

One Day Off, Another Day That Needs To Be Made Up!

                           

         

           I don't know why everybody seems to wish for no school during the snow days. Come Summer, we are going to have to make up every single day we missed! Then, everyone is going to be looking out the window while it's glistening outside with a perplexed look on their faces. Everytime  it snows, I ONLY wish for two hour delays because you don't have to make up those hours. The more days we miss, the more days they take out of our Summer of fun.

The Beauty of Being in My English Class! ♥

                


          Unlike every other class, I enjoy coming to my 3rd Period everyday. It's basically a class that everyone would want to have. We have nothing but fun. Maybe because we have a younger teacher who can relate to us and understand us. Even though Mrs. Totten jokes and play around with us, she's strictly business when it comes down to getting our work done. One of the main reasons we have so much fun in the class room is also because the type of students we have. There are the loud ones, smart, goofy, quiet, and the ones who are always on joke time. Even though I may crack alot of jokes and play around, I always manage to get my work DONE! ♥

Friday .. *blink* .. Monday Morning!

.. now it's Monday morning :/

       It's funny how we always rushing for the weekdays to pass by, but come the weekend, we're stuck in the house bored! Maybe, just maybe, we get so excited come Friday but forget to plan for the weekend. That blows me, big time. Then, if you do finally plan your weekend out, it zooms by in a blink of an eye! Gosh, I can't never have it my way!
