One thing has been constant in my life School, it has been around since I was little I always dread its demise Yet I find myself excited for what is next Making me realize maybe it’s time to move on To bigger and greater things My future looks bright with many probabilities I think I know what I want to do with my life What are the odds I will change my mind? Even though they are high I won’t let the odds define me Wherever I end up I will be alright I’m tough and can survive anything Even though I may need to follow other people’s rules a little longer I find nothing can curb my happiness For I am a light that shines bright no matter how dark I will find my way through the darkness When I get on the other side Look me up for who you know will only be brighter It’s time to stop looking back For now is the time to dream of all the possibilities Every possibility gets me closer to who I want to be And every time I take action I will become stronger For I know I am not invincible But doesn’t mean I won’t try For I am who I am As you will be who you are And together we will find something more Author's NoteIt was supposed to be about Senior year and how it will be missed but it ended up changing directions on me. It ended up being more about college and how it will define us and its important to figure out what you want and not what others want. I'm not very proud of this writing, I think if I had more time I could definitely get back to the point I wanted it to go down but until then this is what I got.

I sit in the middle of no where Trees follow along me I have a specific destination Yet I have never seen it personally I flow along like no big deal I am not just here for beauty But I have a purpose I cannot think for myself Yet I always make it around the bend I don’t dress myself all pretty I was just made overtime And overtime I have grown People like to visit me They adore me from affair and up close I don’t know why they like me so But they can’t seem to help themselves Sometimes I help them get to a destination Or even something to eat I change every so often not by choice Sometimes my top is frozen over Then others I flow so fast I can't be stopped I tend to see more people when I flow nice and steady For I am not alone here Many lives live within me They seem to have a problem sitting still Sometimes they just go up and never come back again Whatever the reason may be it really doesn’t concern me For I will just do the same thing I always do What Am I? Author's NoteI wrote this about a river. I just thought of what a river in mind looks like not of any specific river that I have seen. I really like how I did the what am I theme to the poem because I feel it gives it a little extra. I wish I would have put in something about the seasons and how the rive reacts but nothing to specific. Did you figure out it was a river on your own or did something confuse you?
It is a cold winter night Snowflakes fall gently to the ground As you look out into the distance You see the lights of many houses Every light tells its own story But you lock in on one blue house You envision a family around Christmas time Their making something in the kitchen It’s a gingerbread house As you come to this realization you zoom out Now you see the community for what it truly is Every house looks like a gingerbread house Full of gingerbread people As the snow falls on the roof you see more and more Almost as if you are looking for something else Maybe something you have been missing Could the truth be it wasn’t their story but yours? What do you have to say? I’m listening Tell me more Suddenly you wake up Did this dream mean something? Author's NoteI wrote this about the subdivision below my house that we call "The gingerbread houses." But I really wanted to specify that there was more to it than the houses almost as if they were part a dream. I definitely feel that it can get a little confusing and it could use some touching up to make it less confusing. What is the most confusing part to you?
You all may know her as good I see her as evil She will surprise you all with her true colors Just ask the English teacher You can run and hide But her blonde hair will find you Nothing can hide from the witch Some may have seen her over the weekend She tricked you all That’s what an actor does Up on stage she is Glinda But out in the world she is Sarah And Sarah will make you be something you’re not She’ll make you the time keeper Until the spell lifts Live in the story She wrote for you If you want the power to her down Grab a bucket of water Or just get Dorothy assistance She dropped a house once Why couldn’t she do it once again? I know I believe Don’t you Author's NoteI wrote this piece about something that happened in my creative writing class involving Sarah. She volunteered me to be the time keeper for our group even though I didn't want to so I wrote this poem about her and my anger. I like this piece because I feel it is actually pretty funny how it made me angry when it was something so stupid as being time keeper. I wish I would have added a little more felt like it was missing something.
Kai turned her back on her past and started to look to a new future. She started to reinvent herself to who she wants to be and decided that from now on out she will not be anything that anyone wants her to be. She traded her dresses and skirts in for band T’s, flannels and ripped jeans. She also traded her heels in for combat boots and sneakers. She stopped wearing makeup and wore her hair more natural. Even though Kai did all these things she was still one of the prettiest girls in school so she decided to change how she behaved as well. She became a vegetarian, artist, animal rights activist, band enthusiast and a feminist who thought more about the world happening around her and stopped thinking about dating all together. She even traded in her sports car for a more environmental friendly piece of junk.
It was finally time to live her new life where people didn’t define her but instead the world guided her to being a better person, Also known as the first last day of high school. Bonnie was so excited to go to public school again and meet all the hot guys. She wasn’t looking forward to starting at the bottom and having to work her way back up the popularity ladder again but she had done her research she knew who was the coolest girl in school also known as the girl she had to suck up to or she would have to join show choir. Kai was ready to show people the new her and to show everyone she wasn’t going to be pushed around anymore but instead be the one doing the pushing. AUTHORS NOTE: I got this idea from the TV show "10 Things I Hate About You." I like what I wrote here because it made Kai more human. It shows that she is just like us except she spotted the betrayal and decided to act on it. When I read this allowed I was very proud that I was able to write two paragraphs in 10 minutes. I felt very inspired to write the more I wrote. I also felt I made theses characters real people who would live in this day and age. Kai’s father was a doctor who supported his daughters but also was very protective of them “no dating rule applied.” Kai had a little sister named Bonnie. She was the desperate for attention type. All she wants to be is popular and she will do anything to do so. She wants to date the hottest guys, with the hottest cars. Bonnie wants to be a cheerleader and could care less about grades all she wants is popularity. So, the whole “no dating rule” really inconveniences her. This caused Bonnie to feel real resentment toward Kai. Bonnie was living with her aunt and going to private school in Ohio for the last couple of years but she’s finally coming home for her sophomore year and Kai’s senior year.
AUTHORS NOTE: I got this idea from the TV show "10 Things I Hate About You." I like what I wrote about because I connect to it and this allowed me to make up characters. I liked making up my own characters and putting my own touches to them to make them my own. As I read aloud I could tell that Bonnie was more similar to people than Kai is. This is because Bonnie lets the people around her control her. Kai on the other hand stepped out of the limelight and decided to become herself. I think I could go back and give more details on Bonnie except what others see her as. It’s a new year and a new school. She thought it would be easier transferring schools so late in the semester. It turns out to be way more overwhelming than expected. She walks into the school and everyone stops and looks at her. All the sudden another girls starts laughing and everyone follows. Next thing she knows she’s waking up back at home. “Thank goodness it was just a nightmare, I’m done thinking about what people think” she said.
Her name is Kai Steiner. Kai Steiner was the coolest girl in her high school she was dating the hottest guy, and she had amazing friends, everything she's ever wanted. This of course was until she realized her boyfriend was cheating on her, her friends were fakes talking behind her back, and everyone else just pretended to like her. So, Kai saw this as an opportunity to remake herself you know “New Year new me.” Except Kai took it way farther than most. AUTHORS NOTE: My idea came from the show “10 things I hate about you” but with my own spin on it taking it in a new direction. I like what I wrote about because I was actually inspired while writing it and enjoyed what I was doing. I think there are obvious parts that could be worked on but I was pretty impressed with my work over all. I think all I need is another’s opinion on what I wrote and see if it’s worth continuing? This world is in a constant state of change. So much so one can feel surrounded from all sides and no way out. Almost as if they aren’t part of something but are on the outside looking in. Take the library for instance. It is constantly evolving. Freshmen year I remember a plain room with tables and books. Now it has been amped up to fit the wants of the students. Now there are bing bags for the room is comfy. Video games for students and Davis can have fun. Booths for friends can come eat lunch, work on homework and talk with their friends. Music is constantly playing to help keep students interested. This is just the change in library so can’t you imagine how the much change is in the world.
AUTHORS NOTE: This paragraph is something I came up in the moment by just looking around the library for inspiration. I like what I wrote because it was very deep considering I came up with it in the moment. I did not however like how I formatted my paragraph because I don’t feel it got the message across. I think if I had time before writing to come up with an idea than my writing will be better overall. This way I can figure out what direction I want to take it in. |
